It's been done before as shown in previous threads.
The Perm-a-Seal is a ***** to get apart on the OEM fog lights. I started a few days ago on one fog light and didn't even come close to opening them. I started at 210 degrees F for 15 minutes.
Tonight, I started at 225 degrees F for 25 minutes, and started using a plastic interior tool so not to mar up the housing or lens. Didn't get it, used a flat blade screw driver and got a bit further. Back in the oven. Couple of minutes later, used a paint can lid opener (paint can key). Probably the best thing I used to open the fog lights. Started on the other fog light. Same heat and time, used the paint can key, and I got the lens off in about a minute and half with ease.
I have the Morimoto Matchbox projectors to go in the fogs. Going to use Duplicolor Black Chrome on the sides of the fog light housing and tape off the reflector bowl part of the housing to remain chrome. Use the black chrome on the micro Gatling shroud. I'm hoping it will give the fog light a "tinted" look without diminishing light output.
Have pics in a bit.
