Default The most horrible corner clearning incident to date...

Cleared both corners w/ smoked diffusers...then while putting the passenger side ones to warm up so the adhesive will stick together... accidently clicked broil instead of bake....



Now I have 3 grill marks going across the surface resembling melted glass...
It is a sad day.....


Anyone know any overnight car parts places that are cheap....or.....even wanna donate/sell me an assembly??
I'll post pictures of this obscene sight later on....


SIGH

I'm sorry to hear of your error.

I was fortunate, and I have successfully split, painted, and resealed my headlights and taillights.

When I was trying to find out if splitting the taillights was possible, everyone said don't do it, and here's why. I don't know who these taillights belong to:









Don't feel like you are the only one who has made a mistake with clearing the headlights. I've read several posts where the headlights have let water leak into them due to improper sealing, after clearing.

I know of one member other that has melted one assy during clearing. He just forgot about having it in the oven. It looked very bad.
