Post need help removing headlights

i'm planning on sending Diplo my headlights to have them cleared.

Can someone tell me how to take out my headlights? How long does this process take?

Also, what kind of bulbs come factory with the acura TL (are they white bulbs for the front turn signals?). If not, what Polarg bulbs will i need to buy to make them white?

Thanks!

what do u mean by cleared? is that removing the yellow reflector that's in there. I'd like to have that done too but I'm afraid of messing up the lens.

I heard you have to go behind the front fenders or something like that to get at them..

I think a couple cleared their headlights out themselves.
I know Rice1304 did it.

What/Where is Diplo??

I want to do it myself but I'm scared that I might mess something up.

Who is going to do it? What much is it going to cost? Also how long before I get it back?

Edub-TL - diplo707 is one of the OGs of the board going way back. He was one of the first to hook up his TL. He has all kinds of mods, even the front & rear under-body kit custom molded to the car.
This is diplo

You should go the the Gallery forum and choose "All Topics" and go back and see what people have posted. Very cool.

If you go under forums and then scroll down to the bottom and look for the heading "Installation instruction faq" snook actually tells you how to clear out the lights. Its pretty detailed and it should help you out.
