Yesterday I proceeded to clear out my housings. This involved the use of a heat gun and some sealant to bind things afterwards. My car looks better than ever now (sorry no pics) but it is some major "drama" trying to get that damn glue off. Took me three hours trying to figure out a good place to start melting (when I had already melted a lot of plastic). I'm also very paranoid whether or not I sealed it so there are no leaks. Is it worth it? For me, it's done and I'm happy. For the other people who haven't done this, PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT! Latez!

 

Where did you start melting and how? I don't want to spend 950.00 for clears.

 

I was just about to do it yesterday when I revisited the pictures of the finished product...

It looks different and quite stunning. However, I didn't like the way you could see the bulbs.

Believe it or not, I'm going to get the Honda original EuropeanJapanese-spec from MG Racing. This way it is an easy replacement with the factory look... at A MAJOR PRICE.

Just my 0.02. 2 Cents is all I can offer after ordering my $945.00 headlight replacements!

 

Start melting at the "southern" portion of the housings. It should be right where the HID thingamajinky steel box. Have a flat head and melt the section between the plastic and the lexon. Go back and forth, section at a time, and continue until the glue seeping out looks like it is turning to a watery film. Then use your flat-head and using the HID steel box as a fulcrum, pry the lexon out. You must be extremely patient and do it a little bit at a time. I also used the flat-head as a spacer when melting at more points. Oh yeah, I'm not responsible for anyone screwing up their lights (cuz I screwed mine up a little bit); to each their own. Latez!

 

There is a place that would clear your corners for $200-$300.

Its' called www.clearcorners.com

I sent them an e-mail about this and this was the response I got.

Ok, I started to see some people have courage to do this after what first Reverand and then I did. This affects more so to the Silver S2000 than any other colors.
The most important part of the procedure comes down to when you are doing the re-assembly of the housing. I cannot stress enough how important is to do it right otherwise it will fog!!
I re-heat the glue carefully and put it back together and held them with pinchers amply to have them bond corretly. If you want more piece of mind apply fresh glue or seal around the houseing with slealant from outside.
Even with that, my housing got little foggy after few days, but I disappeard after few days and remained clean afterwards. I guess it had to do with some moisture in the air getting trapped in the housing.
But if you did it right, you have nothing to worry.

 

Great info on clears!!! Thanks

 

I think it isn't worth $200-300 to have other people clear them out. Think what you can do with that kind of money;hmm...strut bar, brake lines, sound equipment, etc...(everyone has their own ideas). I say build up some courage and do it yourself. The are turnsignals are dim when the diffuser is out anyways, so it looks orange. I would pay a person $60 bucks to do it other than that they can kiss my a$$. Latez!

 

I think that the 200-300 dollar option isn't bad, actually. They give you a clear diffuser, which cleans up the look of it, and apparently they can paint the housing too. Anyone see the silver painting the Mugen SS2200 had? I kinda liked them.
