Some use the heat gun method, some use the oven method..I prefer the oven method because it heats up all of the adhesive and you can split the headlights apart in about 10 minutes per headlight. Others will say "you'll melt the headlights plastic housing and warp it and ruin it!" Only if you overheat them. Preheat to 250, and heat each light for 8-10 minutes, during the separation step you might need to put them back in there to heat up the adhesive if it's taking you longer.

It's not that hard..I had both headlights seperated just fine in 30 minutes (that includes the oven heating up).
