AKLGT

not had any problems with mine, including a front end collision in January. but i also used extra sealant just to be sure.

ha! i would just love to average 20 mpg! i drive all the time, mostly city. stop and go, stop and go.... if i get an avg of 20 mpg, i'm pretty darn happy! actually, if i get an avg of 18 mpg, i'm ecstatic!

Oh no!!!!

 

My friend, I'm so sorry to hear!

 

Out of curiosity, what temp and how long?

Do NOT use 400 and 8 mins! that's WAY TOO LONG!!!!! i think that it's more like 250 and 8 mins? I think I'll use a heat gun the next go around. lol. oops! let's just say hubby wasn't so happy when I destroyed the $300 headlight. good thing i can still salvage parts to it so it won't be a total loss.

well, i just got my 06 headlights to clear yesterday. i was dirt tired and didn't start working on baking them til about 10 pm. i knew i should have just done them another day, but the body shop wanted to put the car back together today so it was a must do now project. i was already dragging from the previous night's 4 hrs of sleep so..... needless to say, since i had done this about 4 times before didn't bother to double check the times and temps for the oven method. so my brand spanking new $300 headlight got cooked and melted so now i have to use the old housing from the 05 headlight and swap out the inards from the 06 headlight. at least it's better than a total loss, but still makes me very unhappy with myself. aside from a really nice long burn on my arm and bruises from falling down the stairs....

thanks, Jazzy! i got this installed relatively easy with your great walk through! works fantastic so far... no complaints and the sound quality is very very good.

just ordered mine from Jazzy! can't wait to get it. of course i'll have to wait until they swap out my stereo since it skips.

i would love to do this but promised my hubby i wouldn't start cutting wires until i had the car for 2 yrs.

well, who knows if he notices or not. i'm in the car mostly so he only sees it when i'm home. if he were home when i'd decided to do this, he'd have objected and given me his warranty woes and this or that..... blah blah blah.

 

i did get the hood down. just as i suspected, since it was 2 am i didn't slam it shut so it wasn't catching. this morning, before work, i slammed it down and it stayed. yay!

 

i'll know how well i did on the reseal when i wash the car in a few. would post up pics but the car's covered in bug guts!

well i ended up taking a break but turned out to be a mistake. 2nd light, i didn't realize it didn't seal all the way so when i attempted to reinstall it, it wouldn't fit. so i had to redo that one before i could put the car back together. well, got that fixed, bumper and grill back on and now my damn HOOD won't close! argh! everythings on like it was so not sure why it's not closing. like the latch isn't catching all the way to keep it closed. but it's 20 til 2 am and i have to get up in 4 hrs for work, still have to pack and get everything ready to go for my 10 day trip! go figure i HAD to do this before i left! lol. but otherwise, the hubby wouldn't let me. we'll see how long it takes for him to realize the lights are clear now.

ok guys, going to attempt this in a few mins. looks simple enough!

alright, you guys have me convinced! i think i'm going to do this tomorrow night. now, aside from just regular tools (i am limited since we just moved and am not sure where everything is anymore) what might i need? i have a leatherman, screw drivers, an oven and about 3 hours to do this!
