How do you seperate the glass from the reflector on a 3rd gen headlight?
Hey all!

I want to remove the glass from the lense on the headlight. I've read some others, mostly Honda owners, baking them. I wondered if the same is true for Toyota owners. Can anyone help me?

Thank you!

I don't think they would taste too good....... Why would you want to bake them seriously?

Yes, heating the glue should work on a Toyota headlight as well.
Be careful not to bake at too high a temp or for too long though.
