   Right, iv just done my headlights fine, no problems.
   
   BUT, removed my fog. put it in the oven 10 mins gas mark2. nothing happening. its been in there nearly 30 mins, up to Gas mark 6. the mastik is not melting at all! Just the plastic. lol.
   
   Anyone got any suggestions of how to shift this super stuff? its annoying me and melting the plastic! lol

   it shouldnt melt it will just loosen up, use a hairdryer or heatgun instead and use 3 or 4 flathead screwdrivers to prise them apart

   I couldn't do mine either, I ended up smashing one of the fogs due to it getting to hot and fragile!
   
   I ended up talking Baz into doing me some as I was a fog light down and mine just didn't seperate!
   
   Guess you have one of those bastard ones.
