I think you have to bake them, not sure.....

with prices of glass ellipsoids headlights, it's not worth the hassle

You cant open a US spec headlight, the only way is to break it...New Euro spec $160-$270 price range, i would go with new ones.

You can do it, it just requires a lot of patience and little creativity.

no need to break when you can bake (calm down pot heads)

Put them on an old crappy cookie sheet so you dont anger mom. set the oven to about 250-275

Bake the headlights for a few mintues, every once in a while check them to make sure they are ok.

Once the glue warms it becomes very pliable and you can pull them apart with some muscle.

Putting them back together is reverse. heat them up and smoosh em together and your done.
