It's not gonna hurt the lights at all, it would take a lot more heat than 200* to melt them. Just don't leave them in for hours

yeah I had em on 200 and kept an eye on em... took about 10 mins to loosen it up... ended up having to break all the clips in order to get em off, but I have them tied up pretty good right now holding them in place... most likely gonna leave them over night and put them back in in the morning

i give you mad props for doing numerous sets of these.... this was my first time and I had a hell of a time getting em apart to begin with until I broke the clips... then re sealing took forever to make sure it was completely sealed... ended up taking 6 hours including removal, disassembly, scuffing, painting, drying, and putting them back together... whatever you charge for this is probably less than it should be considering how much of a pain this is... but then again this was my first time and probably gets easier with practice

was contemplating painting it all black but after looking at all the painted headlights on here this is what I decided on... looks a million times better with the black than from the factory IMO
