But now I ask what is the best method for removing my old lenses? Can I put them on a cookie sheet? Or would that melt the original housing? I guess what I am asking is what is best used to place objects of your car (Turn Signals. Projectors, etc..) to be sat upon in the oven?

I wouldn't use the oven, it's easy to warp the platic housings. Try boiling them first. It will soften the glue holding the lenses in and not damage the housings.

I do not have a pot big enough for the projectors, although I would be less scared to do that with projectors than the turn signals... I might just end up boiling them like you said. I dunno yet. I got until Monday to think it through. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
