Taking out the glue is the worst bit. But I've yet to try it, but I got a small fine wire attachment for the drill, so will get that on it to destroy the glue and hopefully remove it.

I did mine yesterday, you dont need to use an oven at all

As said just run a scalpel round the edge and then gently and slowly pry the glass up, i found it came up easiest prying from the rounded side of the light
then i just ised a a screwdriver to scrape all of the gooey muck out

I'm currently in the process of testing some headlight tint vinyl. Put some yellow tint on my mates jetta and looks the biz. Same as lamin-x but cheaper and i shall be selling it soon. Working on the smoked effect now, just trying to get it right. Not too light, not too dark.
