I pre heated the oven to 250 when it hit 250 turned it off and stuck the light in for 10 minutes. Well I did that 5 times with one headlight and got no where so I'm ordering Harley headlights monday morning from my dealership. Anyone know any tricks let me know

You turned the oven off at 250?

Yea thats what I saw that Matt P did on a post I saw, said preheated to 250 turn it off and stick them in. Am I supposed to leave it at 250?

dont turn the oven off dude. keep it on, put them in for 5 to 10 mins, pull them out and start prying. if no success put them back in, just have to keep doing it. it's nothing else holding the lens but the silicone.

When I did my lights on my old car I did it differently, I left them in and pryed--but if that's what Matt did then I would follow that. Maybe your oven didn't get hot enough? Or stay at that temperature long enough?

Ok there going back in then, thanks!
