    Today i sacked up and decided to do the BHLM, i ended up getting the headlights out and everything and backed out when it came time to put them in the oven because i wasnt sure on what all had to come off. Does that grey backing come off where those 3 torx bolts are?
    Thank You in advance!

    Yep.
    Yeah remove the 3 screws and take everything else off, the little black weather strip stays on. throw them in the oven at 200 for 8 mins, take it out and use some man to pry the shells apart. I had to put them in the oven twice to finally get them apart.

    What do you mean "grey backing"? The grey adhesive will come off but the fixed parts should separate intact.

    the clear plastic front of the headlight will seperate from the gray backing but you gotta use patience and some strength.

    I think i get the general idea, but what do you glue the clear plastic back on the headlight with?? after it has been pried apart?? And what is the best paint to use??

    krylon fusion...and you reheat the plastic and the adhiesive should be enough to keep it back together and sealed. it was on my old one. some add extra clear sealant around the lip for more moisture security
