you dont need to use the heat gun/hair dryer the whole way round the light, if your too lazy just heat up one corner enough to get a blade between and then slice the silicon takes about 5 mins to do 2 lights and doesnt have the risk of melting the light

10mins on gas mark 1 to take them apart

5mins on 1 when putting them back together - did start to melt a small bit though

if i use oven it keeps it all sticky so i can give it a quick spray then when sticking back together i can just whack it down then run a bit of silicone around to make sure its all sealed

i wouldnt put it back in oven after, fuck knows what gas mark one is, fan ovens ftw

IIRC when I did mine it was about 170 deg, for about 4-5 minutes, and about 3 minutes when putting them back together

i did mine 5 mins 220 in a fan assisted, be careful when taking them out be gentle and handle the glass with a towel dont try and grab the light by the plastic mount that goes to the slam panel as it will just snap off because of the heat, once i left mine for 10 mins the glass more or less fell out :homme:
