Hi guys, I know this has been covered on here before now and I know I've read the information I'm about to ask for but been searching now for the past hour or so but can't find it anywhere.

At what temp and how long do the lights need to be left in the oven??? And once done will they just pull apart or will I need to get a screwdriver or something similar to prise them apart.

I did try first thing this morning with the oven on a very very low temp but I just seemed to be damaging the plastic (grey part) when I tried prising them apart. So not sure if I didn't have the oven high enough or I hadn't left them in long enough or something . . . .

Thanks In Advance.

I had my oven just turned up full for about 5 or 10min and used flat head screw driver and knife to open it up i did find tht it deformed grey plastic abit but once u heat it up to put itt back together u can flatten it back out again, just make sure u keep a close eye on it cuz i left one in to long once and cost me lik 70 quid to get a new one!

Cheers guys, seems I had a case of oven not high enough, and not left in long either then.

Will try again in the morning.
