Clear headlights

Can someone tell me who I can send my headlights to so I can clear them out. I want to make sure who i send them to will do a good job. I live in Florida and wish i could have it done without sending them out. Please let me know and I am sorry if this has been posted but i want to make sure who i send them to will send them back. I saw that someone on here does it but under his name it says BAND.
Thanks,
Jared

DIY
Clear Lights
1. Remove Headlights
2. Place headlights on a wet towel inside of an oven. Heat oven to 225 degrees. (Do not preheat)
3. After 20-25 minutes remove headlights from oven.
4. Seperate headlights by hand starting from the inner corner.
5. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Using a razor, trim excess silicone from the inside of the lens cover. Do not remove silicone from the black portion of the housing where the sealant channel is, you will be reusing it.
6. Remove thw two screws that hold the chrome housing to the lens cover.
7. You may now pop out the amber reflector by pushing a CLEAN screwdriver or any utensil for that matter through the hole fpr the parking light.
8. Reattach the chrome portion of the housing to the clear lens.
9. Place lens and black housing back in the oven at 225 degrees for 10 minutes. Do not reassemble yet.
10. After the stock sealent has softened remove both pieces from the oven.
11. Add a small, fresh bead of silicon to the sealant channel on the black portion of the headlight housing.
12. Beginning from the outer side of the headlight, reattach the lens portion of the housing to the black portion.
14. Tighten lens to the black housing in each corner using bar clamps.
15. Allow 24 hours for silicone to cure.
16. Cover holes with duct tape. Test for leaks in steamy bathroom.
17. Put back on car.

you wana compare balls? try 167 on a bike. snatch....

what was your purpose for that? are you a bigger man now? did you 'dominate' me. that has absolutely nothing to do with what this thread is about. you are a noob and you dont even know why. you mentioned the name that was not supposed to be mentioned on this forum. check your nuts and shithead hat at the door before you come in here talkin shit.

Some posts deleted because of the reference to a banned individual and the replies to that post.

This thread is closed because it is so old and the remaining posts are so far off topic.

Don P: Please repost your question in another active thread about cleared headlights. There are dozens of them and you can do a search.
