      Unlike headlights, you can't bake the foglights to remove the lenses. At least not in my experience. I know Jordan (Stück) ran into the same problem.

      If you want to remove the lenses I think your only option is to break the glass.

      If someone has a successfully removed foglight lenses intact then I'd like to hear about it.

      BTW, if you do decide to put them in the oven then make sure you remove the cap on the bottom, otherwise you will almost will surely crack the lenses.

        i believe a heat gun works better than an oven. You can put the heat where you need it.

                I did break my glass too, but I couldn't get all the small pieces off right around the edge. Using a dremel didn't seem too safe so I heated it up some and used a screwdriver to scrape it out. Heatgun would work too I guess.

                  Boiling water worked for me.
