Can you bake my headlights?

hi az, i really want to get the headlights on my 04 baked to remove the orange lens but i just cant seem to bring myself to put them in an oven, i know i would certainly ruin them. Question is, is there anyone willing to do this for me if i shipped them to you. I will pay you for your time. text 336-430-1067 or email shotty6868@yahoo.com, thanks

Send me your headlights and $20 and I will gladly melt them until the amber reflector disappears.

again; baking isnt the problem.
YOU CANT RUIN IT from baking...unless you're an absolute dolt.


the hard part is making sure you are detailed and careful on not breaking anything INSIDE the headlights once youve baked them.

be detailed as possible.
meaning, watch where you place your fingers. finger prints can show up, and that would suck if you see finger prints once you've closed up the headlight.

also, when clearing (or removing the amber piece) it can be broken very easily! you need to take your time.

SO AGAIN, Baking them isnt the hard part.

I'd recommend contacting JNC and using his headlight service. Heard nothing but good things about his results

You ask a question about getting your headlights worked on and all these people have told you to message our vendor named "JnC" and ask him for a quote and yet you ignore every response and now you're "undecided what to do now" ??

You say you are looking for a "professional" to work on your headlights. That would either be JnC or AckTL05.

Both "JnC" and "AckTL05" are trusted and reputable vendors here on the AcuraZINE forums. They each have done more custom headlight and taillight work than you can even imagine. If you are looking to get headlight or taillight work done it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE to not talk either one of those vendors.
