Just trying to help man. From what I've read, the heat gun will do more harm than good since we're using the oven. There's just no need for it and you're unnecessarily increasing the risk of you messing up your headlights.

Reassemble the headlight 30min. Reinstall the bumper-30min.
A lot of people are doing it on their own which will take a lot more time. Also it seems like it takes a lot more than an hour to pull the headlights apart. Looks like we might be looking at at least an hour per headlight. You also have to add in time to take the headlight components out and putting them back in. Add in some rest and break time in there as well so we can get some food.

Well then that just leaves me for the 2nd day. I might as well do it on the first day too, we can just do mine last.
