Yes, I already posted that I tried to bake them the same way that you would with the jspecs, aspecs, fogs and oem tails.

The clear starts to deform (sags into the lens's) if you let them get hot enough so that the glue melts.

I tried them at 250deg, for 5min, and the clear started to bend in the spot I pryed it, I used my hand with a glove at first, then tryed lightly prying with a butter knife. Wich eventually started to make the clear crack around the glued area.
So I heated them longer, same results. So i turned up the temp to 300deg, heated them for 5min more, by then he clear started to deform.. the glue was melted.. but the clear would sag and deform as I pryed on it.

I ended up using a thin dremel wheel (as robii suggested) wich eventually put a crack in the clear.. wich was already deformed so I just ripped the [shizzle] off the light by hand.



oh and btw, they will not be homy chromey id prefer to keep the stockers.. wich I might end up doing anyway
