About to bake the headlights but unsure if I removed everything

I read the DIY write up, but I am not sure if I took everything required out. I have pics. If you have done this, please let me know if anything else needs to be removed before putting them in the oven.

Thank you,
Demetri

for me using a heat gun was better since you can control it better . point and shoot..... but in your case everything looks ready to go in the oven good luck

If you're referring to the darker l shaped plug (i think). I removed it after taking the pic. There were 3 actually in total

what i did was: blow dried the edge where the glue is...heated up the whole border...then start at one corner...(its good to have a friend holding the blow dryer)...have them point it where you're prying...id recommend gloves...it gets a lil hot...lol...

the reason i did it with my blow dryer is because i didnt want to risk over baking my headlights or just something going wrong...

hope you try it this way first...it'll work!
