Default Headlight opening.

Hi fellas,

I need someone to help me open up my headlights. I have to repair some fuck up that the previous retrofitter did. I would open them myself but i dont trust myself with a oven. Anyone know a experience headlight opener around here? lol

lemme guess, he baked open a set of glass headlamps and painted the inner housing black and now they aren`t properly sealed, have fogged on the inside an all round look like shit?

Just youtube it, it`s as simple as baking cookies.

I want pics of said previous owners fuck up.

he mentions a "retrofitter"... so I'm assuming a projector retrofit. that's the proper way to add HIDs to a car so you're not blinding everyone.
Some lights bake open easier than others.
I think that when I did the retrofit on my old car, i heated the oven to 200-250F, turned it off and then put the light in there for 5-10 minutes to soften the glue.

I am a headlight and feel I'd be a good fit for the job if the opening is still available.
