Default How do I de-tango a Blobeye headlight?

I was told you just need to put the whole headlight unit in the oven to get the yellow triangles out but can't seem to find any more info on it.

Anyone know any more?

It's easy to do M8 - 10 minutes at 100 degrees in the oven, open up, push out orange "triangle", reassemble, allow to cool, re-tighten, fit backk into car, stand back and admire

This is probably the best explanation of how to do it.
