your headlights clearing expertise needed.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has their headlights cleared (baked in the oven DIY method) and have done this several times before, perhaps can lend me a hand? I've been wanting to do this for the longest time looking at scoobymods but I can't seem to start on it and end up screwing up and buying new ones.. if you have done this before and can lend me a hand on a Saturday or Sunday, that would be great. Your time and help will be compensated.. your choice of

- new dei exhaust wrap
- new Cobb heat shield (test fitted but unused
- or some cash and beer?

Would be great if I can drive over to your place and have it done there.. any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!

I know Java Blk used to or still bakes headlights. I'd PM him and see what he offers.

I paint and clear headlights all the time. Do you just want the amber cleared or paint too?
I'm in the South Bay btw, not sure about you

I prefer blacking out the headlights with the Orange amber corner things removed.. or just clear too, whichever one is less time consuming.. would it be a problem if my headlights are sorta fogged up? I might have to get it sanded and polished.. I'm in san Jose near capitol auto mall, few blocks from Capitol Subaru..

Those days are best for me too. I work swings m-f.
I have an idea how to do it but im sure theres people out there that can do it with their eyes closed.

My lens are kinda ****ed up from the tint so I might just end up buying sti headlights lol.

I do this all the time, I can do all your headlights for amber removal or painting (Shoot me a PM with your numbers if you're interested) Removing haze from lenses is harder, from my experience it's always been best to buy new headlights and clear bra them to prevent haze. All the home polish kits they sell at AutoZone end up fading after a few months and they go back to haze.

Shoutout to Krinkov (Jeremy) for keeping my headlights looking factory new w/ clear bra.
