Should've came to my place i think I posted some offers a while ago.. i had 3 ppl clear their headlights at my house this past sunday

Blacking out is very very hard... either that or my friend screwed up. he didn't paint all the chrome parts black and left the blinker portion chrome. to cover the chrome part he used some tape and i think it was a thick wad of newspaper. when everything was done, he started peeling the tape off.... along with the chrome finish... ... he was and

1 take off headlights
2 bake headlights in 225 F for 25-30 mins. make sure to put a wet towel on the baking tray before you put ur headlight in the oven
3 take out head light, pry it open. take out orange piece.
4 take off all excess sealant in the way
5 use honda bond HT and put your headlight together. don't hold back on the bond
6 let it sit for 10 hours
7 reassemble car.
8 happy TL owner.

i skipped the detailed parts... you need to becareful when you take off the HIDs.... but this is the general guideline.

One thing I noticed after i cleared the headlight was ... I now have 4 differnt colored lights 3 different colors from headlights and 1 from fog lights. I guess it looks better during the day. it looks stock when the headlights are on at night

Hey Mongolian, did you use any clamps or anything? The link with the instructions said that we might need some bar clamps...So that would mean I need to get some..and that shit isn't cheap. YOu think I can do it without the clamps.

well... my friend had some clamps... it was on one of the headlgith for like and hour and i decided there is no use for them.

I don't think you need them. I didn't use clamps on the second headlights and came out better than the first

It's all about overusing honda bond
