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 have to say my preferred method is the oven, which I use for much more complicated dismantling than these.
 Place the units on an oven glove not the shelf direct and 5-10 mins at 100 deg C should be fine. Take the time to poke the mastic back into the recess when you've got the ambers out. Regards the 'silver' spray, look for some thing 'chrome' or 'bright metallic' which has more of a mirror finish if well sprayed. With the GT4 turns, I've found it nicely smooths the look if you remove the uneccessary partition inside(not possible on the ST202 units). Pic below shows what I mean....  and when fitted on your car they should like this(until you respray it)......  Look forward to pics -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V? Mine was used in the opening sequences here - note the clear turns and front LED's
