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.
