Just curious. Baked when I had the A6 but for some reason all I see for S4 tech articles and stuff is the drill method. Anyone oven them??

Default Drill, than use a screwdriver to break the tabs..

comes out alot cleaner than drilling the tab out, also less shavings to get out.

Default headlight recipe

yea, you put the light in the oven, bake until golden brown texture, then seperate the lens from the housing and break the yellow tab out and then push the lens and ousing back together, put the tabs back on, pop it back into the oven for a bit to reheat the sealant glue stuff a little more, take them out and press it together really well and good to go

Assuming you mean clear corner mod, I used a soldering pencil instead of a drill. Much cleaner.
