Yeah I put them in my oven on 250 for 5mins then pulled apart with a flat blade, and still had to use a heat gun for the parts that was stuck real good

Does painting them hamper light output? or is it just aesthetics?

light output doesnt change since your not painting the reflector.

so are you just going to leave the amber reflector off? An all clear one would look good IMO, but I have no idea if they make them like that

You want to see one that is all chrome just without amber ls that what you are saying? I still have to paint the other one so I can snap a picture of what that would look like for you.
