Painting Headlights..

I searched and didnt find a definitive answer...

how long do you put your headlights into the oven for and at what temp to soften the silicone..?

x2

also makes it easy to reseal if you cut nice and leave all the old silicone there. don't need to apply alot of silicone. just a bead to seal in the spot you cut between the old silicone and sandwich it together

Like everyone else said. No need to heat the 00-02 lights. Just cut them open

if you do decide to use the oven method .... you're supposed to warm the oven up .. put the lights in, turn the oven OFF , and wait 3 minutes

if you leave the oven on you'll probably end up with a melted headlight. LOL
