Help! Need Asap!

OK...so I was trying to get the fog out of my cleared out headlights on my 2003...

I put them in the oven, cranked it too high, and melted the damn housings...

PLEASE if you have any available...let me know, currently, I am not able to DRIVE!
GRRR!

you can also email me at zixxer79@yahoo.com

or call me at 302.598.6567

Thank you guys for your help, this forums always seems to come through

Ian

It's ok man, I'm laughing myself...

You don't remember the post where you put the housings in the oven to heat up the silicone...that way they are easier to separate?

Well I've done it plenty of times...but this time it was just a little bit too hot...
