well if you havnt got them, her you go........

take your front bumper off, go ans take the 5 on the top under the hood and the 2 on each side under the fender. once its off take off the headlight, you sould beable to see the bolts.

once off you need to take them apart, I sugest not to use a oven, you could melt the hole thing! get a hairdryer and slowly warm up the glue, not the lense and carefully pry it apart taking your time. after 1 hr of doing this you will have it apart. now you can see the insde, just unscrew everything and you will now be clear! Oh and if you wana paint the inside use a hightemp paint. your welcome

i belive i have heard of putting it in the over also at 350 for 7 min. but dont take my word for it dont want u to f anyhting up

Damn! I really want to do this and paint them nwo too, but I dont want to take the bumper off. My bumper is so fucked up anyway I probably couldnt get it back on.

its not that hard, its one of the 1st things I did! But I wouldnt put it in the oven, a freind put his integra lights in there and it melted in. So do you wana take a shortcut and make a $200 mistake?

You headlights will NOT melt in the oven unless you leave them in there for way to long.

7 minutes - 250 degrees, trust me. Look below, I just did mine and had mine painted. The oven works :-)

Well I would try the oven honestly, but man my bumper is all fucked up. Been run into a curb (not me) and drug bottom so many times. the corners are sagging and the black thing in the opening is cracked. Even screws are falling out of the wheel wells. If it isnt hard then maybe I will try it. Just dont want to screw myself.

AGAIN!! you do NOT have to take the bumper off to get the headlights out... its been said MANY times.

Then how do you get them off/ Out? I will do this saturday then.

Yeah I can get to the bolt on top and the 2 on back easily enough but how do you get to the bottom one with the bumber on?

wedge a piece of cardboard in between the bottom of ur lite and top of ur bumper in between...and then wedge a realllly long socket extension in there and use a screwdriver if necessary to stretch the bumper down some so u can see it...and wallaaaa the bottom headlite bolt is removed. Also easy to put back in, too.

^^^thats a good idea. i went up through the front airdamn with a socket and extension.

When I'm done, Uncle Ben will be jealous!

well when I did mine way back when, I used extentions and I couldnt get it n e way, that why I take off the bumper, it only takes 10 more min

I've alrady taken my headlights out once....and Myke is right....no bumper removal necesarry....just happened to be what I was doing at the time....must take headlights out to get the bumper off not the other way around.

Is the bulb we use for the turn signal still orange? If so,can you clear the light and still have the orange bulb shine through bright enough to keep it legal?

Okay. I am gonna try this this weekend.

A couple of questions though...

1.) how do you seal the lights back up?
2.) Where do you get the paint to paint the housings? SATAN?
3.) What steps are involved in removing the amber piece?
4.) What is the bulb type so I can replace the bulb.

>Is the bulb we use for the turn signal still orange? If so,can you >clear the light and still have the orange bulb shine through bright >enough to keep it legal?

the bulb itself is white... just drop by your local auto store and get the 1157 bulb that is orange

>1.) how do you seal the lights back up?

just use silicone/RTV sealant.. can be found at auto shops or homedepot
>2.) Where do you get the paint to paint the housings? SATAN?

you can use any paint.. no need for satan, just get a can of SEMS, krylon and youll be fine.

>3.) What steps are involved in removing the amber piece?

after you open up the housing, you should just pop the first lense out, and then unscrew a couple screws to lose the amber piece

>4.) What is the bulb type so I can replace the bulb.

bulb 1157

Sweet man thanks. Nothing special I need to worry about then?

are you guys all using amber bulbs.....is it illegal where you live to have anything else? just didn't know why it would be worth my time to leave it orange....kinda like clear sidemarkers with amber bulbs...I hated it


~E~ 1999gs

Im useing hyper whites to match my headlights

Anybody know what bulb replaces the lights for the clear sidemarkers. I wanted those to be clear, not amber bulbs so i left the stock white ones in w/ the clear corners. But even those look orangish. Looking for WHITE bulb replacements. Any help would be appreciated. :thumbsup
