sup ya'll. i have a `99 lude SH, jus bought it not too long ago. The car is great n all but the headlights (stock) were fogged up and he didnt do anything about it. Now there is a crusty surface on the inside of the headlights which looks bad. any suggestions on what to do?

 

Well you could buy new ones :ghey:

Or

Put 'em in the oven for a few minutes, take off the front plastic, clean them, and put them back together (see a REAL DIY for this)

:exnbp:

 

oven? are you serious?

 

Yeah, for real, it sounds scary, but it's what you do. I've done two sets before no problems. Like prelood said, look for a REAL diy for this.

 

never done it before, any idea where i can find a diy for it?

 

Thats what I have to do when I do retrofits.

1) Heat oven to about 325 degrees, and make sure the bottom burner turns on.
2) Put headlights on a cookie sheet or something metal and flat enough for the headlights to fit into your oven
3) Leave in the oven for about 5-7min. and always keep an eye on them
4) Take lights out, (they're be hot) and pry the lense off with a flat head screw driver
5) Make sure you push the tabs back down, or when it cools, they'll stay upward.
6) When putting everything back together, use alot of clear silicone to make sure water doesn't get into your headlights and cause your lights to fog up when it rains

While your headlights are apart, you could paint the trim piece black, cause thats what alot of people seem to do now days

 

tight, ill try this but ima lil scared tho,haha

 

Yesterday my friend and I cleared out his 04 STi headlights.

We took all the bulbs and wiring off the headlight and put it in the oven for 15 minutes on 200 degrees, worked perfectly. We didn't even need to re-seal the headlight together, just put the two pieces back in the oven, heated for 15 minutes at 200 degrees, and put them back together in time for the sealent to melt back to how it's supposed to be.
