and about the fog issue, just put one of those silicic salt bags(you get in the box with new shoes) in each housing and you'll be fine.
thats my trick and its been more than a year for my headlights!!!

i baked mine to remove the amber diffuser and man o man was i pissed when all that nasty glue got all over the black housed part of my headlight... I would never pull those suckers apart again... I had to spend another 2 hrs cleaning and lining everything up perfect so they would seal right. its a tough job but definately doable

My drivers side has fogged up (after the warranty expired of course), so I'm been looking at prices on 'em (I have an 03)...

I just cleared mine out and I'm gonna do a right up on it. All the DIY's say to bake them but I really wasn't to happy about putting mine in the oven to melt the glue. I used a heat gun and a buddies help and had them apart in ten minutes (each). Once you get the first one open the second one is a lot easier.

so am i puttin it in the plastic piece that im taking off or inside the lil hole where u put the hid bulb in?...and do i need to remove the whole headlight to do this or i can do it regular...

Hey man I just finished my D.I.Y. write up on clearing the housing:

Once you have the housing apart, just mask off the Chrome Reflector and paint the part of it black that you want black to match the '03 headlights. Good luck!
