Take apart your headlight lenses without an oven. Learn how to safely remove your headlamp or fog light lens without an oven. I show you an easy method to take apart the lens and put it back together so there will be no problems with melting the lens or moisture after you put it back together.
-I made my own oven out of a box, tin foil, thermometer, and a heat gun. This worked great and is reusable.
-You might want to do this if you want to spray paint the inside of your headlight, retrofit projector lenses for HIDs or LEDs, to clean the inside of the lens, etc.

Below is the long list of car makes, models, and years with the corresponding headlight glue type and temperatures (click the link to the pdf). Most butyl glue headlights will separate at 250F for 8-10min.

Can you make video on how to fix lens cracks
Hi Chris thanks for the video I've realised it was a few years since you made the video, I was thinking would a plastic dash tool work to get the housing apart?
If you have moisture you should just replace the assembly. I watched this video because I had severe moisture but I ended up just getting it replaced and don’t have to worry
I use my sisters hair dryer
mom told u to leave her oven alone???
This works great for when cooking chicken ðŸ˜ÅÂ
Wish i saw this video before chipping a piece of glass into my eye.
Don’t do this. Adhesive sucks to work with. Too little heat when you pry it, prying will crack the plastic and too much heat the heat ITSELF will warp the plastic.
Chris is da man!!!!!
before he cheats
Hey Chris, absolutely brilliant! Worked perfect. Took out of oven, inserted a reg size screwdriver in seam ran around seam once and literally the lense fell off 5 seconds and separated! Thank You
Btw perfect time/temp in oven for my car was/is..
2005 Ford Explorer factory lights, in oven, temp 250 deg ( preheated, put lamp in after oven hit 250 )for ten minutes.
One time around and open.
Ooh Chris your great ðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂ🇮🇳

Hi Chris. Do you know the temperature for a Toyota prius headlight separation
I've read the list of car manufacturers, it's not a very serious video when you forget groups and top 10 brands like Renault, Citroën, DS, Opel, Seat and you mention Saturn, Scion, Lincoln.😂
Do a retrofit video â¤ï¸ÂÂ
What about 89 f150? There’s no halo headlights made for that year on google images.
Where was this when I needed it. Gotdamn lol
