Well yes and no, the outside of the headlight is GLASS, that will FOG up if the oven is to hot. SO watch out.

The plastic, NO, the heat doesnt bother it 1 bit, jus the outside glass u gotta worry about. next time i blk house my lights im jjus gonna buy a heat GUN.
Heres my pics. Headlight and bumper light!

Aw son of a bitch! I could have used my heat gun? Dammit! But if you do that I dont think you will get an even temperature all the way around. Right?

also be careful when prying the glass out, it could break if 2 much force is applied to separate it from the plastic housing.

X2; Mines chipped a lil bit on top.B very careful.

if you do that on the 1 piece...would the heat in the oven mess up the plastic part? like can it get deformed?
