have no fear... http://www.acurainspired.com/forums/...?showtopic=572
the only difference between that DIY and abunchofcars is the guy on abunchofcars used a wetrag instead of cardboard for the oven (either will work, u prolly have a wetrag lying around over a large piece of cardboard), and he cleared out the honda bond with a heat gun after taking apart the lights and filled the channels with clear silicone sealant and then let it clamp over night...i bought some silicone sealant and put a layer of that over where the headlights split from after sleaing it just for a little more protection
The acurainspired diy is prolly a little simpler, but i'd buy at least 4 or 5 clamps to clamp the headlights over night...it helped alot...and be sure to hold the headlights shut with ur own hands as tight as u can for at least 5-10 minutes before clamping, getting all the tabs together again. Also, me an darkfox baked the lights for 12 minutes rather than 7...made it easier to pull apart.
