I took apart my broken headlight tons of times to get it down pat so I did not mess up my good set

I did the headlights and tail lights on my 8. The tail lights were a bit more difficult to get apart than the headlights. I believe there is a how to on doing both.

OP, looks good!

Bought a heat gun just for my heads and tails. The oven thing troubles me. The heat gun gives better control and has come in handy with other things. Will be doing my housings soon as I get a chance.

Good job. At least you had a broken one to practice on.
