Does anyone, or know anyone, who clears/paints headlights and tail lights in the area? I know there are a thousand DIYs all over, but I just can't bring myself to stick headlights in the oven, I burn toast. I don't want want to send them across the country and have the car inoperable for a few days.

 

you won't burn them if you put them in at 200 for 5 min....

And the only person I know who does this is lightwerz. And if you end up doing it yourself, it really is super easy.

 

It's SUPER easy! Fear not young padawan.

Seriously though, just read a few of the DIYs and then just go for it. I've done it on countless head/taillights at this point and the first one was by far the most nerve racking.

yea ive done about 6-7 sets for my friends and my own and after the first time its definately a lot easier. just take your time and u should be fine.

 

I thought it was pretty crazy to throw your headlights into the oven at first too, but I tried it and it was a breeze.
Just take your time and follow the DIY instructions if you need.

 

you burn toast because its a $0.20 cent piece of bread, not $hundred$ of dollar headlights

 

I did not put mine in the oven, and they came out really nice. There's a pic in the wagons thread if you want to check. You can also put them in hot water instead, it'll still weaken the glue. Significant problem with this method is, good chance you'll get condensation once you put everything back together. So, make sure, when you're there, that you've dried everything up as best as you could.

 

Lightwerkz is worth it:
