ok guys well it seems that i got screwed again but thats too long of a story to get into. The CTR headlights that i got came with a cracked lense and it looks like im stuck with them. What im wanting to do is remove the lense from my ctr headlights and replace it with a lense i got from a mint 00 si headlight that i have laying around. I saw a write-up a couple of months where someone did this exact same thing i am wanting to do but can not seem to find the thread. I have also heard that the best way of removing them is to pre-heat your oven at 300 degrees and when it is ready stick the headlight in there for about 5 min and glue sealing the headlight should melt making it easy to remove the lense.

I guess my question is can someone please help me explaining step by step on how to do this or give me some link to a previous write-up. Also what is the best thing to use to re-seal the headlight once the new lense is in place. Thanks in advance guys.....

Start by removing the light bulb from the housing.
- Preheat the oven to 325 deg.
- When the oven is ready, place the headlight housing onto a baking sheet and put it in the oven for appx. 2 min (you may need to repeat this step until the silicon is plyable enough to work with)


- Remove the housing from the oven (with the pan it's on)
- Place the housing on the counter or whatever surface you choose (we used a towel) and put the baking sheet in another spot as you will be using it again
- Use the blunt side of the knife to pry the outer plastic piece away from the housing. You will need to use the heat gun/blowdryer at this point to help you get it apart. Also, be aware of the little clips and be sure to unclip them without breaking or melting them</TD></TR></TABLE>
