SEARCH

 

This has been covered numerous times...use the search feature.

 

Easy guys, as you can see str8acura is a newbie (only 3 posts) let's try to be a little helpful. mmmmmkay?

from what I'm hearing, the OVEN technique seems to work the best. I think it's something like:
1. stick headlight in oven at 200 degrees for 12 mins
2. remove from oven, push headlight tabs
3. cut along seal very carefully while pulling apart HL
4. once open remove reflector
5. reseal headlight w/new sealant or re-heat factory seal
(if you use new sealant you should remove all of the factory sealant first)
6. WEAR latex gloves because if you touch the inner chrome casing you're gonna leave ugly fingerprints.

anyway....this is just an overview, the search should help you find the exact directions.

 

do a search and youll find about 3 different way. All i got to say is make sure u use plenty of sealent when u are done.

 

thanks a lot guys... i appreciate the helpand yes i am a newbie... to the forum.

 

also, is there anyone in the miami are (preferably kendall or westchester) that could do this. i would gladly pay u. if so please email me @ TGOCarlos0069@aol.com.

 

Actually, the guys here in SoCal are not adding any new sealant at all. They are reheating the original sealant, then recompressing the headlight back together. So far, so good. No fogging or leaks anywhere. Bathroom tested and multiple washing tested. AND it looks amazing. :wow:

 

That's actually San Gabriel TLers.

Specially, if you need additional help, you might wanna talk to ElegantTL-S.

 

now thas a nice clean job:wow:

 

haha actually it started with the LA TLer!!

 

ahaha one brave LA TLer and then we used him like a 2 dolla whore!!!

 

use a paint can opener when opening them, it wont bend the housing like some other tools

 

oh yah?! maybe i shud become a $100 whore

why are some of you guys having a hard time spreading knowledge?

 

thanks a lot tuff gong... that is by far the best post i've read reagrding this topic... the only thing that could be better is if someone in the miami (westchester/kendall) area has experience doing this and would be willing to do this for me... you will be rewarded.

 

Can I bake some cookies while heating the headlight??

 

yah, but it'll take plasticy!

 

Is there anyone is the MA area that can do this. I will pay you.... please.
