Very nice man, what was the oven temperature at and how long did you cook them for? Also, how did you seal them back together?

if i remember right it was 300 for a few minutes under 5....i sealed them with silicone after i put them back in the oven just make sure it seals so you dont get water on the inside

I baked mine, but how do you do you do that without melting the rubber trim at the bottom, and how do you get the rubber trim off and back on??

That reflector is impossible to pop off isnt it

i put it on a cookie sheet with the face of the light facing up but i cut all of the rubber trim off..the first one i failed miserably and there was no way it was going back on but the other one came off all at once but when i was done i couldnt get it to go back on so i just pressed them together put them in the oven again and then used silicone around it worked fine.. what reflector are you talking about? the orange marker is part of the whole lense and i taped the reflectors on the inside

The orange piece on the lense... Nice job on them though.
