Well...today I cleared out my headlights and all I have to say is its a PITA! Its not so much hard as it is tedious. I used the oven technique for the first one I did and I don't think it was as easy as everyone thinks. Getting the amber relfector out is kind of tricky because I was scared of breaking the little piece of chrome in between the blinker and where the reflector was.

Instead of the oven I used a stripper gun (to peel off wallpaper). It gets really hot, but I heated the whole top, then waited for it to cool for a little bit then pryed them apart. When the pieces began to split I used a razor blade to cut the silicone so an even amount remained on each side. To put them back together I tryed to seal them the best I could with just my own strength, then used clamps while I re-heated the silicone with the gun and gently clamped them back together. Just for a little precaution I used some GM Clear Silicone and put a nice even bead around the entire fixture.

Here are the results...I am going to swap out the amber bulb with something else, but haven't decided just what yet....

 

Looks good! Now I definitely think clear corners look better on 99-00 model headlights.

That's one of the first mods I wanted to do the TL but... since I promised myself that I won't spend any money modifying this car...

 

Washed the car today and really let the headlights get soaked...even opened the hood and sprayed water directly on top of them (without the spray nozzle..so it can hit the lights direct) and no leaks or fogging.

 

hey ArN 2000 TL, wut calipers are you using? or are they just painted?

 

Just painted....and they are getting re-done this week probably

 

congrats! and welcome to the club

 

Hey thats looks great...was it hard to do?

 

Its was tedious, not for those who have no patience

 

I want to do this to my TL, but don't think I should do it myself. Can I take my car somewhere and have it done? Or any one in the Miami area that can help me?

 

NICE. i just used mirror tape to cover up the reflector bc my car is leased....

my car is the green one on the right.
