Take apart your headlight lenses without an oven. Learn how to safely remove your headlamp or fog light lens without an oven. I show you an easy method to take apart the lens and put it back together so there will be no problems with melting the lens or moisture after you put it back together.
-I made my own oven out of a box, tin foil, thermometer, and a heat gun. This worked great and is reusable.
-You might want to do this if you want to spray paint the inside of your headlight, retrofit projector lenses for HIDs or LEDs, to clean the inside of the lens, etc.

Hi, Can you do this with classic mini Cibie glass headlight? What temperature? Any advice much appreciated. Cheers
Air fryer version?? 😂
Will I have to do anything to the inside electronics? Just put the headlight in the DIY oven?
You coulda used my oven dude, no need for a hairdryer and a cardboard box…
Title says 'How to remove without an oven.' Proceeds to make a really shitty oven. You're a lot less likely to damage your headlights in an actual oven and I thought everyone has one, in the US at least. Just put the headlights on a piece of wood and stick it in the oven on bake for at 270 degrees. Then check it as often as you want. It'll probably take 10 minutes, depending on what they used to seal your headlights. You could take it at 5 min, 8 min, 11 min, etc and check it with a pry tool. Wear oven mitts, obviously and don't touch the headlight on anything metal inside the oven. Make sure you preheat the oven. 220 might work too.
chris, came here from your "water/moisture" video's descripion.
You got a type there.
