I don't want to bake my headlights so I'm just thinking of using the "XB/XA method" to break the amber reflectors and take them out piece by piece; unfortunately, this dude in past thread tried that, with no avail:

It's gonna look retarded. Anyway, I don't know what you are talking about with the melted edges. If you take due care then there is absolutely no way you will burn or melt anything. Sounds like you don't have a lot of confidence in your own abilities. You need to get the temperature right and keep an eye on the time, and you also need to put a damp towel under the headlight and make sure there is no contact with the baking sheet or the sides of the oven. I'm not a car expert by any means. I'm just a guy with an oven.

you are absolutely right, I don't have confidence in my own abilities. After screwing up on trying to paint the paint chips on my hood, screwing up my engine cover paint, and breaking the screw for my rear strut bar; my confidence on my ability in DIY stuff has dropped very low.
but hey i dont know what the headlight will look like without the amber reflector, cause people have been doing clear corners to get rid of the amber reflector.

Mine certainly didn't do anything like that when I baked them. It doesn't actually look like melted plastic, it looks more like excess sealant which has been squeezed out. Even if the sealant gets everywhere, it can be cleaned up with some elbow grease.

thats great, but that office lighting material that you're using tends to melts or burn a bit. it ends up looking a little yellow after a while. i wish someone would produce something similar to stock lens.
