Default clearing headlight

I'm thinking of clearing my headlight

I really liked the look of clear corner when I visited speedstar last time

I read some posts saying it takes forever

Is there any shop that can help me out with this?

Or is it fairly easy to do it myself?

I doubt speedstar has an OVEN

i dont know why people keep shoving their headlights in an oven... i have blacked out 5 sets of headlights and never used an oven once. My first 2 sets i used a blow dryer lol and the last 3 i used a heat gun.

Once again there is no need to bake your headlight... simply heat it up as you pull it apart... saves tons of time and worries.

I used a heat gun to do my lights on my TL... one of the headlights leaked though so figure out what a good sealant is to ensure it doesnt happen to yours

If you're looking for clear diffusers for the "JDM Look" let me know.
I have a set from Rick's that I no longer need.
