wanted to see the headlight in the beginning of the video be finished..the way it was opened in wanted to see how he resealed it

You can put the entire headlight in the oven and the plastic cover will be easier to remove, just remove the light and igniter first or those will be damaged.

Hi, would using a standard heating gun help? Thanks in advance.

[@Retrofitlab]

Yes, you can use it to re-heat the part where you are working on, just be careful not to point it in the same spot for too long / and not point at at the lens itself etc.

What temp are you setting the oven at? Im getting ready to do this exact thing

[@Retrofitlab]

In general, 2 methods are used, with both methods, be careful and patient.
Method 1 is using a regular oven. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius. When ready, switch off the oven and place the headlight inside. Make sure that the headlight is not touching any metal of the oven by placing a cloth over the grid, for example. Leave the headlight in the oven for 10-15 minutes before opening it. If the headlight kit is not yet soft enough, put the headlight in the oven for a bit more time.
Method 2 is suitable for larger headlights that do not fit in a regular oven, or if your lovely wife absolutely does not allow car parts to be baked in her kitchen. A large cardboard box is used where hot air is blown through a heatgun. Make sure that the hot air of the heatgun does not blow directly to the headlight, place the headlight on small elevations so that the air can circulate properly through the box. We use a setting of 300 Degrees Celsius for 12-18 minutes / 1st lowest setting, depending on the size of the headlight.
