Default question about clearing headlights

do you have to use a oven when opening the headlights or can you do it without heat??

No way in hell you can do it without heat. Unless you want to brake the housing. You need the heat to make the glue softer

I used the oven and pulled the whole job off in 2 hours. Some people have used a heat gun to open them. I tried this method and quickly gave up (would have taken forever). So to answer your question, you need heat, but not necesarily heat from an oven. Where are in Passiac County? How far are you from Sussex (that's where I live).

I'm sure I could drop by on my next trip to the shore. Pm me with your address some time. LMK if you want help, I'd be willing to help out a fellow owner!
