Has anyone baked their headlights open so they can paint the housings?What temp and cooking time did you use?

 

i have the exact same question

 

i have done it a couple times, but not on the fit head lights. basically bake it at around 200 degrees for about 10- 15 mins to soften the glue, then pry it open. if the glue is still not soft enough leave the headlight in there for a little longer.

 

I took my Fit lights apart to paint but did not use the oven method.. I have tried that with other cars before but did not work out that well. Instead I used a heatgun, and went around the seam slowly, and got it apart.

 

My bro just took apart his SI headlight the other day with a heat gun. I must say it's very difficult to unpry it even with all the heat.

 

Yeah I've done it to several other cars too but not the fit.MX6GT89 actually painted his,he used the heat gun method too,he told me it took a loooong ass time,lol
