Yeah... saw that, but heating to 400 degrees scares the hell out of me...

But *drumroll please* one of them is open. Heating these is not really beneficial other than to help soften the plastic to bend it back. In the end I decided to cut it off and rebuild it later. Doesn't look pretty now, but will be fine in the end. I will do a DIY (I've been taking pictures) if there is interest, but I don't see many people being willing to do this to their $800 headlights...

Here is where I am at:
