Does anyone know to remove the orange part of the headlight where the side marker is? I want to make it clear.

I'm assuming you have a 95....

take the lenses off your headlights. heat gun does the trick to heat up the glue.

once you open them up, and start takin it apart, you'll be pleased:)

I've got an extra set that I'm painting right now....

lol!!


sorry, that was too funny...


to clear the lights, it's best just to take them apart. you take the lenses off by using a heat gun to melt the glue that holds the lense on. once you have the lense off, take everything apart and clean the moisture off everything. when you put them back together, be sure to clean a good majority of the glue off the lense and housing, then use clear silicon around the whole thing to re-seal it up. just make sure you let it dry fully before putting the headlight back on the car.
