Default Baking lights

This Topic has already been Adressed But Dumbies Like Myself Need "special" Attention. Baking? You Literally Heat up the HeadLamp And This does What? Makes It Clearer? Ok, Check Out my Lights Will it Affect them? They are Dirty Bah! So. Will They?

What can I do with THE CORNER LIGHT?

The HID is Off But the flash caught it.
Will I see a difference and What are the Precedures....

the reason for baking the lights is to heat up the adhesive and separate the lens from the housing. You can paint the inside, remove reflectors, etc. Don't put them in an oven above 200 degrees.

u have HID? looks like a ricer bulb to me..

but, the headlight baking process is so u can take them apart.. if u want to clean your headlights up.. wet sand them with 2000 grit sandpaper then buff them with a plastic scratch remover..

You bake them to separate them to either clean them or to paint them. And no, they dont magically "self clean" them selves...LoL
