It is very easy to get wrong and melt your plastic light
You need to melt the glue by either heat gun or put it in the oven then seperate

Someone I know used a hot air gun on the low setting and managed his just fine.......I'm planning on doing a set the same way.
The oven trick works but I don't fancy it........the wife wouldn't be too happy to see a headlight in her brand new oven lol

Id recomend an oven, i v done 5 sets now and a heat gun is a right lash up way of doing them, you end up with prie marks all over the place bits snapped off and missing , holes where there shouldnt b holes. so yeah it you want a tidy job use an oven, nice neat tidy job, quicker to do , and 99% less damage to the head light
