I think lower the better in my opinion, need the heat to spread throughout not crisp the edges.
Yum, taillights for dinner!

Lower for longer is the best.

scotty b the glue sets back pretty fast, so if u use a gun it will melt one part and by the time u heat up the other part the 1st might be setting.. fanforsed oven is like a big gun but
and plotonus i told u what you need for the headlights (im sorry if i didnt it might of been somone else i cleared my emails since then) il give u a hand but i wont do the whole thing mate

it should yeah if ur scared use a lower temperature, like around 100 but for like 20 minutes, REALLY let it bake, so that the glue can melt. like i said i used 180 cus im inpatient haha. but if its in there for 20 min kepp checking on it please so noone blames me if the plastic melts haha

steam function will not help...would make it worse as youll have to clean it all out and make sure there is no moisture in them when you seal em back up...
for plastic use a lower temp...glass higher temp... for headlights me and zappy had em in there for only about 5-10 mins at about 100-120 degrees... you dont need the stuff in there for long...glue will melt way before plastic...you shouldnt need to leave it in there for longer than 15mins...check every 5 mins by seeing if you can pull the lens off with out braking it...
