Im voting yesno.

I've been told that you cannot open the stock plastic headlights. The sealant needs to be heated too 300 degrees inorder to get it to loosen up.

No, because then you'll need totally new headlights. The headlights are not meant to be opened. If you try to open them you will break them and then you'll have to buy new ones. What I would do if I were you is go to the faq section of the forums and find the diy on headlight cleaning right now.

You have to heat them. Although I have never tried, it's supposed to work.

I have tried cutting the glue around the headlight lens and taking it off that way, trust me, it won't come off. I just gave up and bought Euro M3 ellipsiods. The Euro lenses are just clipped it, so if the glass cracks, fortunately you can just pop the glass off. Unfortunately, just the glass is $250 each! Ouch!
