   Which way in the oven do you put the fog? i.e Glass facing down.. etc?
   
   I tried it, put it in oven for a good 15 mins on 180 degrees, but still couldn't prise the glass off. Gave up in the end 2bh.

    give it another go mate just remove all clips etc, just get the oven pre heated to about 200c then leave it 5 mins check, put in for another 5 mins check again keep doing it till the come apart.
    try sitting the lights on some tin foil. for a better result
