Clearing Headlights

azuma123 · 01-07-2008, 01:56 AM

I want to clear the orange part of my headlights and I've seen posts where it says how to do it by myself but I'm not too good with cars so what do you guys suggest?

***strutking*** · 01-07-2008, 02:17 AM

pay someone else to do it?

Welcome to the Ocho. And your first post.

If you post where you are from, maybe hang on the board, get to know members from your area, ask them nicely, host a bbq, meet, invite them, do a mod day, etc. there are many alternatives. Or pay someone. :)

azuma123 · 01-07-2008, 02:25 AM

You don't have to be good with cars to be able to do this... all you need is a DIY, basic tool set, an oven, and silicone sealant...... The DIY section on this site is GREAT, many detailed photographs for even the most inexperienced DIYer to achieve.

It is easy! I did them myself, the only part you need to be careful with is the oven, just take it out early, if its hard to take off, put it in a few more minutes.....no trouble
