thats funny because I just popped my headlights in oven today to clean them as per the link above from housecor.....it was pretty easy, I put in oven for 35 min @ 250deg, took them out and they came right off (after prying sealant away with small screwdriver......it sounds crazy putting them in oven but works quite fine......good luck

don't have to glue them if you don't want. just leave them clear with no cover if you prefer. just get a orange bulb for a susbtitute.

Cops?!? For that?! Are you joking? The cops by me suck, but they'd NEVER say anything about the lenses being clear up front. I've got chrome bulbs that flash amber. Now if you're planning on blue/white turn signal bulbs, that's a diff story.

You gotta clear out the amber. It looks sooo good. Anywho... i'm going to bed. I'll try to convince you to do it another day. |

Can someone post side by side pics (or a link to them) of the plastic clear lens from Home Depot and the one from Tap plastics?
Thanks a million! |
This is up close of my Home Depot plastic clear lens.

I'm not a fan of the Tap Plastics lens (although no cutting is needed)
Here's my Home Depot clears........ http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...70_73_full.jpg |
How much cutting is required for the home depot lenses and where did you buy your eye lids from.
|
looks like leftcoasttuning eyelids, which they dont sell anymore as far as i know :(

You need to cut the Home Depot lens to a smaller circle so they fit. Not that tough to do. Use a Dremel and cut it a bit larger so you can trim it down for a tight fit. |
Hey, I could do both angel eyes and this at the same time correct?
|
yes you can do both
