CORRECT! 4.11 V AC in fact on my scope.

I am jealous of you because i attempted the install 2 days ago just to find out that my 2002 headlights set were replaced by 2004 year (still prefacelift.) I baked them for 20 mins and the glue are just as hard as silicon. It didn't even melt a bit. I have the same set you 2 bought from the same seller. I am still waiting to hear anything other than baking that would open the 2003+ lights. Anyone ever successfully open 2003+ headlights please help.

I'm sending them back to him.

Have you sent toohotdoc a private message regarding opening the headlights? he seems to be the only I've heard of here on the forum being able to do them, otherwise it's off to ebay for your headlights. This mod is my favorite so far.
