How do you clear the lights?
First: remove your bumper:
first remove the plastic cover located on top of your bumper held up butr alot of small plastic things you jsut pop off with a flathead, then under that there are 3 screws
Then you have to get 2 screws connecting the bumper from the side of the cars, located near the wheel
Then there are many random screws, nuts and plastic pins holding the bumper in palce at the bottom of the car, just take alook and its all self explanatory
You also need to take off the plastic piece on the top of the engine bay all held by clips
Then just take off the actual bumper.. it's made of urethane so it can bend a little...don't worry just slowly force it out and remember to unplug the roadlamp lights out of the housing
There are four screws holding each headlight assembly on on both sides
take a heat gun, or blowdryer to melt the silicon on the edges of the headlights. heat for about 5 minutes.
Start with the rounded part of the headlight.
Pry it apart using a stick (like a flathead screw driver). Don't go to deep or you'll scratch the chrome.
Once you break through keep a wedge in there or even the handle of another screwdriver.
Heat well and keep separating.
Remove the chrome piece - be careful about fingerprints.
You might want to wait 10 minutes or so to let the silicone cool.
Getting hot silicone on the chrome will strip the chrome paint.
Remove the orange strip
Strip off the old silicon to insure a tight seal. It is like removing really hard chewing gum.
Put new silicon caulk on. It comes in a tube, and should be availiable at any hardware store. You should use heat resistant silicon (especially in really hot states)
Someone has had success with silicone 2 by GE.
Make sure its all sealed up and then put everything back together.
It is suggested to check the seals by duct taping the holes on the headlights, taking the headlights into a bathroom, cranking up the steam, and then checking to see if any steam gets into your headlights.
Make sure cleared lights are legal - some states require orange turn indicators.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also read on the forum that it is recommended to put the lights in the oven to soften the silicone instead of using a heat gun or dryer. Since I have not cleared my lights yet (which I intend to do soon) I'm not speaking from experience. Just wanted to give you some direction. Tell me how it goes.
