Probably 30 minutes of reassembly and baing each. I would say for someone doing this the first time, and not doing a bunch of other projects on other cars like I was....budget 6 hours total, depending on how quickly the paint drys.

And yes I was worried about killing the lights. But in reality as long as you bake them slowly and for short intervals you can't do damage. I did like 3 minutes 2 times at 230 degrees, then 1 more minute and they came apart. You do have to pull on them a bit, but if you have pulled interior panels or done much work on your car it wasn't any more stresful than that. The scary part was figuring how to pull the chrome covers off of the Xenon parts. That took a bit of work to figure out on the first one, but once we had it, it only took like 2 minutes on the second one.

Any AZ folks who are interested I would be happy to help you do this. I isn't really too hard. Just gotta commit to doing it!
