You can actually do the oven method at 200~225* I have found that it takes the same amount of time as 250 and you run less danger of burning yourself. FYI start at the back and work your way forward. Be careful and take your time I have done a dozen of these and I recommend adding new sealant to ensure that you do not have any leaks. Also make sure the inside of the lens is spotless and that the housing is clean as well. I just did a set a few weeks ago that I missed one little spot and because the customer had LED's I had to be really careful pulling it all back apart.

Remember dont yank on the lens just apply constant pressure when trying to pry the unit apart. If it doesnt give at all then it needs to be heated some more. The headlight should be ready anywhere from 7~10min in the oven. Also remember to remove all bulbs, ballast and wiring harness. The only loose item should be the connector for the main projector and that unit you can stuff into the housing.
