I live in Orange County (Anaheim), CA. Does anyone know of a bodyshop or business in the Orange / Los Angeles county areas that will clear the front headlights on my 2009 TSX?

 

i did it on my own but check the socal regional section.
if i had to, id charge $300 to get it done

 

What does that mean? "clear the headlights"

 

When people stick their headlights in the oven, pry the front lens apart from the housing, to get to the orange diffuser by the turn signal. They take that piece out so there's no orange in the headlights.

It's not for everyone, some find it tacky, some find it clean. Usually the younger crowd will do this. Occasionally you can spot a bad seal job by the condensation in the headlights.

 

300? thats a bit steep man. i asked a few shops and they only charge max 200ish

with that said. op if u find a shop wiht good price and does a great job, lemme know!

 

$300 is fair based on my limited time and value. Normally I wouldve just passed or avoided requests like these because I know the amount of work and effort that has to be done. If he cant find a shop or anyone else to do it, that's my rate to pull me away from family time


Ed, you should post the names of these shops. I read somewhere here that Promax in Alhambra/San Gabriel can clear out headlights. I think shops use heat guns instead of the baking method.

Or you can do it for FREEhundred if you just followed Kowloon's DIY thread and save yourself some money. Just takes 2-4 hours of your time and some confidence.

 

Thanks for the info. Yeah, an fart like me is not quite in tune with the younger crowd.

 

yea promax charges 200ish. but i heard a lot of bad things about them...
