I have done mine around 120, no need to wait,
dont keep it in too long otherwise, the headlight assembly starts to melt as well.

mate if youre worried about them melting try 60 for 15 min first, just make sure u give the oven a while to heat up first. 60 is what ive seen msot ppl recommend for other cars headlights doing the same thing.

Yeah, I thought I'd play it safe, thats why I used 75. Kept pulling them out to check every few minutes. Pryed apart a little, and put them in a few more minutes to soften again etc etc till they were all the way apart.
