7th gen Headlights
Does anyone know if on the 7th gen civic headlights, the amber can be taken out? If so How? and if so when you put them back together will there be a chance of moisture getting inside?

its not that hard. take a screwdriver (flat) and hairdryer and heat glue, and start prying around. heating the clue first helps, so do that the same time ur prying. the rest is straight forward after u crack em open.

Re: 7th gen Headlights (pkek)
Yes I did it, and it does involve Prying the headlights open- PM me if you want to know how to do it.
edit-* There is a chance of moisture getting inside if you do not seal the lights correctly...I have had no fogging but me and my friend used a crap load of silicone when re-sealing them.
If the photo dosnt show clickey this http://forums.clubrsx.com/attachment...&postid=496959

Re: 7th gen Headlights (Silver02Civic)
I wouldnt "tie" them back together like someone said. Ive cleared three sets of headlights, and definitely recommend sealing them with silicone (you can pick it up at lowes, home depot etc. "Kitchen and Bath"). Go to 7thgencivic.com and click the DIY section, it will walk you through how to do it.
