Baking them will not hurt them. It doesnt take much to get them warmed up and able to pry them apart then paint acccordingly and put back together. A bunch of guys did this with SS Silverado to remove the side reflectors and then put back together. Its a great alternative to buying crappy ebay lights. If you are conserned about messing up your headlights right now go to a junkyard and find yourself a decent replacement pair that you can "test" this on and if you dont like it well then you have your factory ones still but if you do like it then you put the "Modded" ones in your car and maybe get creative and try something else with your other ones. Also one other thing when you take them apart you may be able to just remove the factory amber reflector. and then you could paint that black or whatever then put it back together. Just a few suggestions for who ever is considering this.
