heating it up evenly in the oven ensures the sealer (glue) is softend enough to come apart. Then after the lens is cleared you put it back in the oven to soften it again before pressing them together . . . something like that.
Anyway, Casper claims to have done a bunch without any probs.

Here's a quote from Casper on the process.
I've PM'd him to see what's up with his schedule.

Quote from Casper:
"I always did laugh about guys talkin about that cause the maxima community disassembles headlights and taillights all the time. Our rule of thumb is temperature. Most of that hard plastic takes quite a bit to really screw up and the only taillights/headlights I've ever heard of being damaged were when they turn the heat up to much. Our standard time/temp is 200 degrees in an oven for 10 mins. A flathead screwdriver is your friend. Carefully and slightly pull the pieces apart and voila! The Acura guys fear putting the headlights back together and get leaks because of the silicone sealant on the headlights. The key here again is to put the parts back together, then put it back in the oven to heat the glue up again. That's it! I've taken more headlights/taillights apart than I can possibly count. Hell, took my tails apart again this past weekend.
If you want any help or wouldn't mind the company, I'd love to help out!
Let me know!"

those are my 2 worries, that the oven will burn my headlight, or I'll get leaks and it will fog after it's all back together.
The time i saw it done, they put a towel in the oven on the rack to avoid having the hot grating burn the light and the towel caught on fire and burned the light.
