I have... but I'm more focused on the ugly chrome housing of the headlight itself. I want to get the base headlights.

Throw it in the oven and bake it, take it apart, the reflector will come out with ease if you want to do this. if you need more info on this let me know. Used to do it all the time way back on eg and ek headlights.

I wanted to get rid of those from day one.
I really want to do the bake method but I'm scared.
I will do it eventually though along with getting rid
of that chrome with Black paint.
