did you use a putty knife to seperate the adhesive? and what did you use to scrape the old adhesive off? also..... how do i get to the main bolts to remove the headlight? dont i need to go into the fenders? thanks man!

im not sure of the sc4 but my sc3 had 2 nuts on the inside of the fender well, ya gotta move the plastic liner to get to em, and then 2 bolts on top of the light and then just the electrical connectors. i heated my oven to eh about 250 or so, probably alittle higher, let it get up to temp, SHUT THE OVEN OFF, then put the lights inside the oven for like 5-10 min, now before u put the lights inside the oven, i'd wrap the oven grille thing in foil and place it so the light will be centered in the middle of the oven. next when u pull the headlight out it will be hot as hell, so have some old oven mitts or some crappy gloves ready. this glue will be extremely sticky so have a work environment prepared. once u pull the lights out of the oven u can use a putty knife or screwdriver to pry at the seams, if you feel you are prying too hard, then stick em back in the oven for a lil bit. u are gonna have to try to get as much glue off the pieces before it cools because thats the only way it comes off. if the parts cool then ya just gotta re heat em, but make sure the oven isnt on or the plastic could melt. hit me up if u got more questions
