You bake the lights in an oven and then open them up. Then you can paint them

Pre heat over for 350F or 400F, wrap your headlights with a towel, place headlights in the oven for about 12-15 min. remove and adhesive should be melted by then.

the clear coat on my headlights started to bubble/peel due to leaving it in the oven too long. i just need to get them restored.
