To soften up the glue so that it can be opened. The glue that is on it is not suppose to be opened until someone decided to bake it.

I do 20 minutes at 275. The headlights open like nothing after. Make sure to get clamps so that after you put them back together you can have them sealed really nice so no water gets on the inside.

Not really. Maybe this doesn't happen for you, but when you heat something up it melts.
