i would but i don't want to be liable for f'ing up ur headlights if it happens.

Its not too hard really. A 1/3 of the work is removing all the crap from the headlights to get it ready to put in the oven. Put it in oven on a wet rag for 12 min baked at 200 degrees, that worked better than 7 minutes.

Follow this DIY http://www.acurainspired.com/forums/...?showtopic=572
It helps to have a friend, and I would go out and buy some clamps so you can let the headlight really stick together over night. And if you're paranoid about water leaking in like me, put a layer of clear silicone sealant over the part where the headlight casing and lens come together.

I could use some money but I don't want to go through hell with my mom freaking out that her kitchen will get ruined, and again, if anything happens, I don't wanna be liable. If you're really not up to it, I'll think about it, but its not too bad once you get started.

If the headlights aren't sealed correctly, there will be condensation in your headlamp which might cause the HIDs to go bad. Just make sure to seal the headlights up nice and tight and you wont have anything to worry about.

My lights took a good beating from rain this winter (u so-cal guys kno it rained very very hard at times), and there perfect. Darkfox's had fogged up once during a crazy 3 day intense rain, when rain stopped, condensation went away and they've been fine since.
