headlights

who has taken them apart? i have an 02 grand am and i heard that to get the lense off (i want to paint the inside black) to put it in the oven and that will soften the glue. to reseal it you pretty much do the same, but im not so sure if it will work as planned. anyone ever taken the lense off before and put it back on and never had any leakage problems? if so what type of glue did you use and what methods did you take?

i peeped a few videos on how to make projector headlights an they did say oven it for like 5-15 mins an if the glue is still on it wont have a prob sticking back.

ive looked and had no luck. if i can get the name of the glue incase shit goes bad and doesnt get put back together then im all set. im probably gonna add a halo with that strip of led's audi uses in their headlights but mine will be all red. so id rather just do this anyways because of that

i only plan to use them around dusk. cops around this part of ohio never give people shit for any lights. my friend has a charger with blue halo's in the headlights and fogs. never once had a problem. if it were anywhere else, its a guranteed ticket for sure or if the lights are flashing.
