Default Opening Headlight Housings and Saleen HIDs

So here's the spill... I crashed my GT 4 days after putting my Saleen HIDs on and broke one of them... I know fun huh? Anyways I know the housings are the same as the OEM lights and I have a spare set of OEM housings I am going to use to repair my broken light.

My question is if anyone knows how to bake the light so that you can get the housing open and what kind of adhesive to use to seal it back together.

If anyone has done this or can link me to a thread about this I'd greatly appreciate it. I found a thread a long time ago but I have no clue as to what forum I found it on.

You can bake them at 175* I did it for 8 minutes pulled them out and pried at a spot that was hidden when on the car. for me it was the top since I have a custom radiator cover that covers the headlights as well.

I check at 6 minutes and it was still to tough, but 8 minutes on the drivers side and like 12 total on the passenger.

How to seal, I have no clue... I am not re-sealing mine.

I saw a youtube video of a guy doing that. If these are like other headlights then you reuse the adhesive and heat it up to put it back together. Look on youtube and you should find some videos.
