sup people...i'm going to attempt to clear the amber out of my oem headlights on my 96 coupe, i tried searching the topic, but i couldn't find anything...so if anyone has any suggestions or advice on going about this it would be great...thanks in advance

 

Can you post up a pic of what the stock ones look like , then maybe i can give you some advice on what to do.

 

 

my bad, here ya go man

 

 

a hammer huh, guaranteed to work? lol

 

Heat the headlights up either with a heat gun or in your oven. Take them apart and remove the reflector. Use some silicone and put the headlights back together.

If you search there are detailed write ups on how to do it.

 

hey thanks man, maybe i was using the wrong key words in my search...thanks man

damn thanks man, that is a very informative write up, that's what i was l00kin for...i'm gonna do get on this tomorrow or wednesday, about how long did this take you???

 

The first time....maybe two hours (without painting). However, this was before people started doing the oven trick. I've since done it that way several times and it's much faster.

took maybe a few hours, mostly letting the paint dry.

holy **** man it took us 11 minutes in a preheated oven at 250degrees to get it open .. and that page is saying use a hairdryer that would take freaking forever

 

welp...i cleared my headlights this morning, took me about an hour and a half...only problem i had was...i cracked the chrome trim....couldn't fix it but oh well, it looks awesome, i didn't paint them...i'm liking the look, i'll snap some pics later on...thanks for everyone's help

 

 

I used a hairdryer..didn't know about the oven trick back then. But this is how you do the whole thing. You need to remove all the bumper clips inside the engine bay, then turn ur wheels and if u look by the wheel well, you'll see 1 screw on each side holding the bumper. After that, you canpull the bumper down without completely removing it. Then there will be I believe 4 bolts holding each headlight housing. Remove those and disconnect blinker bulb and the head light. Then the fixture should come out easily. To take the housing apart, preheat your oven to 250F and leave the housing in there for about 5 min. Get a screw driver and GENTLY pry the housing apart. I say gently because you can crack the housing. To remove the amber parts, there are about 2-3 screws holding them on. I reccomend that you paint the headlight housing as well, preferebly black. Then reassemble everything in reverse order.
Heres my housing:

 

*beware of and pay attention to the oven*

 

Ouch..that sucks... Yeah you wanna be really careful with the oven. Leaving it in just a bit too long will ruin ur headlight. I sorta prefer heatgun/hair dryer even though it takes forever haha.
