How To: Make headlights clear
Just wondering how or if there is a way to remove the orange signal color from the headlights to make it all clear? Any help would be much appreciated.

Ya, it's pretty simple, but it's nerve racking the first time you do it. Heres the Steps:
1.) Remove the headlight assy from the car
2.) Remove all bulbs. Everything alse can stay on.
3.) Preheat your oven to 220*F
4.) Place the headlight ontop of a towel in the oven, and let then bake for 15 minutes.
5.) Take them out when they're nice and hot. Pry them open (wear gloves!!)
6.) Take the little amber pieces out. They just snap out. Theres two little clip-like things on the back of them.
7.) Reheat them and press everything back together. Do this step twice to insure you have a good seal.
It seems scary the first time, but its easy. I've done like 10-15 pairs now, and It's old hat. People actually pay me to do it :-P.
