Just remove the lights from the car,remove all bulbs+fastening screws around the perimeter.Put them in the oven on a tin cooking sheet @ 220 for 20 min.Pull them out,GENTLY pry apart with a flathead they should come right apart.Clear them by popping out the amber reflectors,re-heat them for about 10min to heat up the adhesive,put them back together.Done.

Well that was easy enough said Haha. Thanks. But, I know I have to take off the front bumper and that is the park I dont know what to do. I know their is clips all over the place. Also, Will any eletronics or wiring be okay in the oven?

the wiring will be fine,its such a low temp only the adhesive will slightly melt allowing you to pull it apart.You do NOT need to remove the front bumper,the black plastic clips that are all along the top of the front bumper..remove the upper outer 2 on each side where the grill meets the lights,this allows you to pull the corners near the inner corner of the light,look in there you will see a white bracket/attachment thing just take out that 10mm bolt and the top 2 bolts from the light and pull forward gently.You will find actually pulling the lights off the car is the hardest part of the whole thing,kind of a pain but they will pop out.Iv actually got my front end apart,pm me if you need pics of the bracket.

no u dont need to remove bumper just might have to play with it for a min
You don't have to remove the bumper. If you go the modifcation forum theres a thread of note about clearing 04 lights.
I know getting the headlights in and out of my 06 was the biggest fugging bitch ever. Took me like 15 min per. I could be a retard, but it was insanely hard for me. Taking the bumper off does make it easier, but its not neccesary.
