How did you get your headlight apart? using the oven at [x] temp for [x] minutes, did it have staples as in tucpals tut, how did you get around the staples. I was going to buy an old second hand unit off eBay and have a practice to see if it was worth the hassle.

I believe most after market headlights use butyl which is more pliable and easier to remove compared to original factory headlights which tend to use permaseal which is much tougher to remove as it's stiffer and needs to be put in the oven a number of times.
