I think it was around 180. I kept taking my ones in and out, checking them often.

Oven onto max until heated up.
Turn off oven and put lights in on a cold baking tray.
Leave for 5 mins.
Take out and prise apart.
Burn hands.

Done this many times.

Does it make a difference if it's fan assisted

I done it on my fan assisted oven. Same procedure applies.

Let the oven heat up, then turn it off and put the lights in for 5-7 mins. Then take it out and quickly open the lights up.

Ratty's rules have changed since last time

It was something like 200 degrees C, oven off, light in on cold tray (make sure the light doesn't touch the Sides) and leave in for 7 minutes.

Worked a treat, the lenses came off with minimal effort. My oven is fan assisted as well, so I just turned it off at the wall once heated, to prevent the oven cooling down too fast.

Does the light inside the oven need to be on, or off though?

I'm hoping you would have disconnected it from the car before you attempt to fit it in the oven
