Cleared my headlights in 20 minutes!!
I just finished clearing my turn signals in my headlight using the "beat the crap out of it with a hammer and screwdriver" method. I came out really nice. Now I just need to get me some chrome turn signal bulbs.

nicely done

Looking good. I was really scared at first but I said "what the hell" and did it anyway. It's very easy and I'm glad I did it now!

Looks good - I think the headlights look so much better cleared out.
Hit me up if you need some chrome 1157s, I have them in amber or superwhite. |
I just cleared my corners tonight. Taking off the bumper was the easy part, but for me, shattering the reflector was the hard part. I must not have been hitting them in the right place. So, I gave up on that and baked the lights in the oven to loosen the glue. I pryed the lenses open and took out the reflectors that way... re-heated them and stuck the lenses back on... hopefully I won't have leakage later, but everything looks OK. Gonna get bulbs tomorrow, assuming there's a parts store open.

I did the hammer method as well. Worked nicely. One thing I did was to cut up a few shop towels and stuff them in the hole first. This way when I shattered the orange plastic it didn't risk scratching the inside of the light.

pep boys has APC black chrome lights that glow amber and they also have the sylvania silverstar blue bulbs that glow amber. my friend has a toyota matrix and he gave me his black chromes when he bought the blue ones at pep boys.
