DIY: VIDEO!! Baking 370z Headlights for Paint, LED's etc

pbhakta

So I decided to open up my headlights this weekend for painting and this Video was perfect. My first time around opening the headlights was frustrating. I have a gas stove and oven in which I put the temp at 250 for 11 mins the first time. I was able to barely seperate the headlight enough to get the screw driver in there. I had to put it back in for 5 mins then another 6 mins in order to finally get it apart. For the second headlight, I decided to go with 250 for 15 mins. Low and behold, it came apart in less than 3 mins. I realized that scoring the entire headlight with the screw driver helped the most just like it was mentioned in the video even before trying to pull it apart.. After scoring around the light, then I would start to pull apart from the front and it was a breeze.

Also, if you don't hear that crackle sound when your scoring the headlight, you know you need to put it back in the oven.

Thanks for the great videos, it was the confidence booster I needed to do this myself. I'm half way there, now just paint and put back together and hopefully all is well.
