One on the right for me
give or take some time...i pulled it out after about 15 to see how easily the housing came apart...needed a few more min. to soften up

What paint did you use? Still contemplating mine. Everyone SAYS it's "so easy to pull apart, but I'm nervous about how I'm going to handle a big ass hot headlight housing and manage to pry it apart. Not excited about spending $450 dollars to replace it either.

Actually, it's not that easy to pull apart. You really have to pull. Also, it helps if you have someone helping, to ensure that the silicone doesn't get caught on the headlights. I used oven mitts to get it out of the oven, but then used my bare hands to pry it apart (fingers got 1st degree burn though hahaha). It's really not that hard, if you take your time, and do everything meticulously, it'll turn out ok.

NO NO NO
Taking off the bumper was pain in the A$$.
Opening the housing was even more.
Putting everything back together was the hardest for me and my friends. . .
However, when everything is back on the place with the blackened housing. . . . . . . you'll be surprised because it really feels like you have purchased a new car. It looks so frigging SEXY.
I'll put the pix tomorrow, I didn't have time to take any pix due to work.
Now, I have to think about fog light bulbs and signal lights; there are so many great color combos and LEDs so on. I love it!!
