I'm sure others will give you sites for the headlights, but I just wanna give you some pointers in addition to that.

1) Buy a heat gun or borrow one. It works very fast. Once I got the hang of it, I took the 2nd headlight apart in under 10 minutes.

2) Work slow and steady, take your time. The best idea is to do one side at a time..move heat back and forth for a min, then jam a screwdriver in and try to pry it open in all areas. Then turn it over,do the same. Repeat a couple of times, and then maybe you can muscle it open.

3) Don't worry about breaking the gray snaps on the headlights. You'll see. You'll put so much silicon on, 2 or 3 busted ones won't matter.

4) Use TONS of silicon when puting it back together. The GE Type II stuff is the best, 5 bucks of it is all you need. First, put tons of glue one each side of the headlight. But not so much that it oozes into the assembly. Then mash it together and hold it together with some bungee cords. For your second layer of silicon, run it all around the outside on one side, then wet your finger and make it smooth, then do it for the other side. You'll need all your fingers, so get a friend. Make sure you fill ALL holes in the silicon, I did and never got any sort of condensation or leaking.

5) MOST IMPORTANT...10 minutes into the first headlight, 200 bucks for aftermarket ones isn't gonna seem to bad. But trust me, it's worth it. Just take your time and you'll get the hang of it. And don't be afraid to break anything. Just go easy on her.




I've said it so many times, but I miss that car. I had much stuff left to do with her before she got totaled. :fawk:
