Those who have taken JDMs apart

Did you have to bake them or can you just take the clips off and pull them apart?

I'm in the middle of converting my JDM one pieces to EDM/USDM reflectors... I've used a hear-drier to do it. And pried it open one side a time. Works fine, but maybe the oven way will provide a neater result.

With my rearlights I used the oven... but my one pieces don't fit in at home.

If you can without breaking them, undo as many clips as you can before baking. It will make everything much smoother when you pull them apart. Just don't force the clips, if it doesn't want to unsnap, leave it and get it when its hot. The benefit of unclipping them before you take the headlights apart is that you don't warp the clips and they retain the same angle and position which will be ideal for putting them back on.

After that bake it It should come apart much easier then.
