Headlights open & reseal tutorial

[@zachariahlloyd6043]

For the life of me, I cannot find one of these for my car, but every one I see shows that you need a *LOT* more than just the replacement lens to fix this.... You need *heat guns* / *cover openers* / *seal knives* / *seal remover* / *sealant* too, just to swap this thing out. So, for those of you thinking this is a cheap alternative to replacing the entire *headlight assembly,* think again, because by the time you by the *twenty toolboxes full of stuff you will need to replace the lens,* you *could have bought 3-4 full assemblies!!*

And its a lot of work, but thats the fun part

Try the baking technique. I used the heat gun and it took too long. Baked in the oven @240 degrees for 15 minutes and it popped right off. I did use 2 knives and 2 flat heads.

[@ms.shunte8323]

@@shoe1126 I tried both ways. The heat gun was actual work time. So 10 minutes of actual work time versus 15 minutes of bake no work. And 2 minutes of work.

[@rudolfhuijs4526]

No mate, using focused heat you only heat the border where the permaseal is applied. Never use water, it gets through to parts and places you don't know when and how will dry. All the sealing purpose is to avoid water, dust and fumes from engine to get into the lenses. You can even use your normal stove oven to heat the entire piece. Make sure you remove wiring harness or any wire, bulbs and any removable piece before taking it into the oven. Set your oven at around 120 - 140 C for 15 minutes. Turn it off and then put your headlamp inside the oven. Put a cardboard piece as a base to avoid dripping and prevent your plastics to touch metal directly. Usually it takes from 10 to 15 minutes for the sealant to get soft. Use protective gloves and try prying it open with the appropiate tools. If the sealant is like thick chewing gum, sticky, chances are you made it really good. Please check your headlamp frequently, don't leave it without constant checks. Some manufacturers may have thinner plastics and they risk melting. Once the HL is opened, clean and take out the old sealant when it is still hot, this will save you a pain the rear. Once again, NEVER use hot water. Keep the thing dry.

[@rdmalaysia8187]

“Oven opening” is a good way to open headlights. Unfortunately, it’s not working at all on permaseal glue.
