CardiffSupra Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Right im about to take my jspec headlights out and open the mother up for cleaning. Im a worried about putting them in the oven as i cant cook chicken dippers without flames. Do i just put the lot in or what? How long? dont want to feck them up. Also when it comes to putting them back together what do i do? Just reheat tham again? Cheers Ga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Can you not just use a hairdryer to heat it, i presume is just to soften the glue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I have done this a couple of times..... there is a good how to on http://www.mkiv.com, however make sure the lights dont touch the sides of the oven and keep a close eye on things should be all right. make sure you pop the clips off first before trying to open them!!

SupraStar 3000 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 don't forget to take the giblets out first! Good luck. I doubt I would be confident to do this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Don't get F mixed with C. They just need to be nice and warm - not roasting! Mine were flexible enough to part after leaving in the sun on a very hot day last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 found the best way was to wrap them in an old towl and cook them for about 10-15mins on around 125 degrees give or take 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 And don't put them face down on the metal shelves or you'll endup with extra lines on your glass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
