Quote: I preheated my oven at 250* for 10 minutes. Placed one of the fogs on a baking tray and put them inside the oven.
you sure it was 250 and not 350? i have a brand new oven (well a year old) so i know its working well but i put them in for 10 minutes @ 250 and couldnt get either to budge, so i threw them in for another 6 minutes and this was the aftermath.

first one shows the glass chips and the second pic is the housing that broke with the multiple chips were i tried it at different spots NEITHER assembly would slide out and im a fairly competent guy so i cant really blame this 100% on my stupidity

i was going to reply to this earlier brian but i thought you would have done it. I opened mine up a while back to paint the inside black and yes i did the same way. I did 250 for 10 min. I stuck a screwdriver in each corner and instead of prying front to back i just stuck the screwdriver in between the plastic and glass and twisted to try and loosen it up. Once you get it seperated a lil bit then you can try to pry it out. If you need any more help pm me.

these were freebies from the pay it forward thread so i decided to experiment especially since the guy didnt package them well and broke the lens in the middle
