[QUOTE="96cobra_12, post: 808058, member: 9584"] No matter what, you're going to have a harder time pulling the lenses from OEM headlights. 2 reasons: 1) OEM sealant is more of a glue/adhesive rather then a silicone/rubber (Aftermarket) 2) The sealant in the OEM headlights is probably rock hard and is not going to soften up under low heat (300*) when i did my retro, i put the housing (Aftermarket: Eagle Eyes) on a piece of wet cardboard and heated them at 250* for 10 min. The trick is to take your time! And work only a few inches at a time. you WILL have to reheat them a few times. What projectors and shrouds are you using? [/QUOTE]
