i kno this has been asked many many times but i would like to know how to removed the amber bar on my headlight. i drive a 6th gen accord. i believe u put it in the oven but for how long and how hot?thanks

 

okay, clearing the accord 6th gen headlight is prolly the easiest task.

1) remove the lens( have to take out the front bumper and all that good stuff.

2) Take them to your oven, let the oven heat up to 330 degree, use some foil
carrier(those used for turkey, ham,etc) and stick it in. One at a time of course
and dont let the len touch the side of the oven.

3) take it out after 3-4 min. and be sure to use some heat resistance glove of some kind, now all you need to do is pry it out. I used a stanley screw driver.
take your time here, dont wanna deform any part. if the glue still becoming hard, you prolly need to reheat it for 3 more min.

4) here my little diagram of layers of the headlight

5)some insight

~clear cover~ clean it up good, since you gonna
stick with it as long as you own the car, remove
glue left over with "glue gone" and then check it one last
time so you wont leave any finger prints.

~Silver trim, cover thing~
you can paint them to black for the jdm looks.
black housing is the name of the game.
leaving it silver = clear headlight

~reflective housing~ dont paint it or do anything to it
you would see anything if you mess with it.

~black plastic base~ nothing

6) removing the amber stripe-there a screw on the silver trim thing, just take it out and it will come out nice and clean.

7) put everything in order and back to the oven, 3-5 min in 330 to get the glue nice and soft then assemble it, check for large gaps

8) let it cool down and use some weather stripe/ sealer on the gap where the clear
plastic cover meet the black plastic base.

9) get some pizza and do the other one.
*hint* grab a friend and offer him some chinese food

 

10-12 minutes at 215°.

 

there's alot of post about baking headlight too.
some come with picture and sh_t.
search own joo

If i can do it again I'll just make it black housing and then leave the amber stripe in. It looks so nice (if you like the jdm looks that is)

The other thing i try on my stock lens was making a custom( )
angel eyes.
I finally hook up everything and yeah drove home and take it off, i felt like a ricer..
I sold it for a bill almost

 

I always do 330 for 3-4 minute, works everytime.
