Question about Clearing Headlights

Hey I went thru the instructions about clearing out the lights of my CL and I pretty much decided that if I did it myself I'd prolly mess it up, so does anybody know of any places you could take the car to get it done for you?

u dont have to replace the yellow light....u just pop it out. What color is ur car? I got blakc silicone because my car is black. U need the silicone to seal the headlights back together. You can get the silicone for like 2 bucks. U must be very careful removing the silicone, if not the chrome paint will come off.

Thanks Jayru but there's a CL-P parked in my garage... not a CL-S, to us enthusiasts they're two different worlds, but to the masses, they might as well be the same car... psssssttt- just dont tell the kids at school, haha
