its easy. just get a wooden cutting board, or 2x4 and place the headlight on that when you put it in the oven. do one @ a time, and dont leave oven while the headlight is in there. so you dont accidently melt it.. leave it in for 10 min. take it out "its very hot" and try to pry the lense off. if its to hard put it back in the oven some more. there alot of steps i didnt mention. so you mite wanna read the write ups that are out there. try a search

Don't be scared. Just do it.

Follow the directions just like on the sticky. Just be careful when you are taking the lense off that you don't break it. If the glue doesn't give, put it back in the oven for a little longer to let it warm up. It should be easy once you get it going.

No plastic smell. Just don't place it in the oven touching any of the sides.
I used black RTV. any other sealant will show through.

It's pretty damned easy. I've done multiple sets. I started back in the day when i had my eclipse. I did civic and eclipse sets, the Camaro lights are EXACTLY the same.
