Help Please, Headlight Problem

The ghetto Headlights my GF bought me dont work anymore. So I need to put the stock ones in, the only problem is the orange reflector came off and I need to open it but my girl does not have a hair dryer and I dont own a heat gun. I have heard of putting the lights in the oven has anybody ever done this? If so how long and what temp? Please help, cause at this point I cant drive at night....

Can you put in yellow bulbs for the turn signals and get the same effect?

I guess you could, but my orange reflector is floating around the headlight housing, so I either need to remove it or put it back...

I've read people used their oven, by warming it up to like 200°F and letting it sit in there for a while. double check the temp though I'm not positive about it. When we did a friends we used my little ceramic space heater and pointed it at the lens.

Let me make a phone call and get you a replacement part from another Suby owner that changed the OEM headlights. I'll see if he wants to sell or swap.

Oven stuff is tacky and voids warranty...

do it right and remind me later if I dont reply...
