Patience. Slow down. Get them good and hot. They should be hot enough that you need leather gloves to handle them. That's when they become most workable.

I had no problems baking headlights on any of the cars I've done it to.

Not only did I bake mine to put in different color halos, I baked one again after the lens shattered in an accident and transferred a different lens onto it. So I cracked open 3 headlights 4 times, one of which was one I sealed(and sealed it generously at that) and had no issues with any of them.

Ok. At what temps and how long did you guys bake them? I have seen anywhere from 200* for 10 minutes to 220* for 12 minutes. I tried both methods and they are no where near coming off. I don't want to ruin them, so a little more info would be appreciated
If I ever do get them open.... Do I want to use the stock diffuser?

I baked mine at 250 for 10-15 minutes. Took all the bulbs out, put it on a towel on a cookie sheet. Came right apart.
