Hello and thank-you for reading.

I am home today and want to clear my headlights for my '99 TL.
I know it is in the DIY section but it is down right now. I know how to take the cover off the lights with the hair dryer or over method. and I would like a little advice on the removal of the bumper ( screw locations ) and the orange lense removal.

If anyone might have copued the DIY section before the page went down that would be tons of help.

Thanks for any help

Replace the "******" with "a c u r a w o r l d" (no spaces)

No problem. Good luck with the clearing..and make sure you take your time.

i wouldn't clear them.
black them out.

the underneath of the missing amber reflector looks like ****.

especially on 99.

i'm just sayin.

mine are cleared.

Did Rick ever come out with clear pieces for the '99-'01?

I woudlnt do this unless I knew what I was doing, just cause u can get leakage and condensation if not sealed right. Not saying people haven't done it successfully, but its hard. You should PM Mr. , he'd do a good job for you. Many people have taken that approach, and have been happy with his work.

hey!...

someone made clear pieces for the reflector backing?..


that would be cool.

where can i find RICK?.

No, its clear diffusers ... replaced amber piece with clear piece ... exact copy of it just clear.

Ah, so he is in the process of making '99-'01 diffusers. Sweet!

joseph_99tl

now this is cool.
do you think he is actually working on 99?..

`ill*tl

You should try emailing him. I'm pretty sure he has gotten tons of requests for the '99-'01.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO???

to a silver TL (Heather Mist actually)

Should I clear the headlights - option #1

Should I clear the headlights and put in the clear cover in place of the amber (would require ordering parts) option #2

Should I take the advice of some in this post and black out the headlights - which I would love to see pics if they were on a silver car. I agree the black would look amazing on the white car or the black but I haven't decided if it would look better cleared or blacked - option # 3

Thanks again for the advice and help

I have SSM, I think I would do option 2 just b/c I dont want hassles with inspections, resale, cops, etc.

Not sure what black out looks like.

joseph_99tl

somebody posted pic of blacked out lights on a 99...

`ill*tl

That was "songoku", who had his lights blacked out on his '00 SSM. If it was a NBP TL w/blacked out lights, it's "payyourtoll"....If the gallery were up, I'd link you the pics.
