I live in central New Jersey and I was wondering if anybody has a good spot where I can get my headlights cleared. If anybody knows anywhere in New Jersey or New York that could do a professional job and for a good price please help. Thanks

There is a board member who goes by Mr. . He clears everything. Look him up and/or search for cleared lights and you should be all set.

Love tep 16. I never would have thought to test for leaks before putting em back in. I will keep that in mind. But I am a visual learner, so again, project pics would be greatly appreciated. When the assembly is put in the over, is the bulb and projector etc all on there? I am kinda confused.

I used to clear lights. The instrutions are good, but I would use a heat gun instead of the oven, because they are some parts the heat might damage. Like for example, there are breathers in the headlight unit that are made of cotton material that will burn if put in the oven. DO NOT removed the original silicon, since you will not find any silicon that does a better job, with that said, do not add any other silicon. If you do it right, you can reuse the original silicon with no problems. ALWAYS start to open the headlight with the inner bottom corner. Is not hard, but be patience and careful.
