hi i have read a lot of threads about spraying front lights i was wondering as im doing mine can i use a heat gun instead of putting in the oven the lights and be careful and im not spraying the inside reflector bits just the inside plastic bits would my HID lights melt the paint or will it be ok ?????? and when i put them back together is it a case of heating glue back up ???

i wouldn't risk a heat gun, but sure others have done it without any problems. just got to be careful when you're doing it.
original sealant/glue can be used when re-sealing but most people clean off the old sealant/glue & put a new lot on.
