Was it easy that way? I was considering doing mine that way instead of the oven.

uh.. i uno, i never tried the oven method plus i didn't have anybody else to work with.

i jus used some small pieces of wood to keep it part while i heat up the other tabs and split it open with a flat head and place the small piece of wood. once i got all the tabs apart. i jus heated up all the silicon stuff at once and jus pop it off. took me about 30-40 mins.

the oven is wayyyyy easier.... just make sure after ur headlights have been cookin NOT to touch the chrome inside the light housing, it'll stick to ur fingers like melted plastic and that wouldnt be good at alllllll

Don't do business w/ S1CK TYPES! He ripped me off for $175. He supposedly "finished" them and was going to send but never did. I better not catch him in South Florida anytime!
