well I officially f**ked up my Lens on my light

[cliffordwoeller]

well i tried the oven method you all told me about and yea my lens is messed up and you know its just like me and my work i cant do anything with out fuking it up. and so of course naturally i was pissed so i broke the damn thing on purpose cause it pisses me off so bad that i cant do this damn shit... so i guess its going to be a lil bit before i clear my corners if i clear my corners at all because its such a freaking pain in the ass

[[ion] C2]

lol i used a hair dryer, actually you don't even need to use anything, just have to break the clips and it all comes right out

[doubleN0alero]

A pain in the ass? do you have trouble screwing in a light bulb because its that simple.

[tnalero99]

I did mine about this time of the year before. Its so hot outside I just parked in the sun for about an hour and was able to just pry them apart without further heating.

[JOEY GLADSTONE]

rofl i bet he put the oven to like 200*

[super white alero1]

This thread reminds of me of cherry for some reason.

[cliffordwoeller]

no i thought it was suppose to be like 400 degrees for five mins yeah well now i need to go get a new light housing i am just going to but two new light housing assemblies cause the lens are kinda worn anyways

[AJules]

rofl i bet he put the oven to like 200*

Thats the temp that I had my oven on and it worked fine...

[cliffordwoeller]

well if anyones has a right and left housing assembly and will clear the corners for me lemme know a price


and the lens are in decent shape and no scratches or anything like that

[zoL]

I did it too cliffordwoeller. Mine looked like they were cooked on a barbecue. :D

[cliffordwoeller]

yeah so did you ever clear your corners ?

[zoL]

yeah so did you ever clear your corners ?

I bought them cleared, luckily. :lol:

[cliffordwoeller]

where did you go ?

[Silentalero]

goto ASS, somebody there can clear it for ya

[AJules]

I did it too cliffordwoeller. Mine looked like they were cooked on a barbecue. :D

lmao, what did you guys do wrong though?

[[ion] C2]

i just bought mine from comanche, crystal clear lens on both for $33 each but i doubt you'll find a deal like that anywhere, you can get headlights on eBay for about $50 shipped non-cleared

[cliffordwoeller]

i have no idea what i did wrong but when it comes to that if its not mechanical work i suck at it and comes out looking all crappy thats why i hate customizing my own car and most times pay someone to do it thats why my body kit is just sitting in the garage right now and will for prob quite a few more months

[meadus101]

Yea, I'd be worried about the oven method. Hair dryer all the way.

[Silentalero]

Ok in all seriousness. #1 punctuation :lol: but with the headlight, just get a hair dryer and be PATIENT! if you force the smaller side out itll snap. You are not stronger than the liquid cement GM uses on them so dont try to tear it apart either. Check the how to and follow exactly, its not hard ot do. Worse case scenario i think richie lives near you.

[zoL]

lmao, what did you guys do wrong though?

I forgot about them. :)

[Alerosaint]

thats why i havent cleared mine yet...murphys law hits me hard on stuff like that and i need to shop where ion shop at he always getting stuff dirt cheap

[cliffordwoeller]

well i need dirt cheap headlights and i sent aas an emailasking how much of a discount and clearing them would cost me

[cliffordwoeller]

#1 punctuation :lol: .........Worse case scenario i think richie lives near you.

Yea well I never think about adding periods or commas or anything like that unless its something business related and who is richie ?

[Silentalero]

Yea well I never think about adding periods or commas or anything like that unless its something business related and who is richie ?

Nothing to do with business, it just makes it easier to read the post. But anyway. Most members here can clear the corners. Richie is Aftermath. That or search some local ho owners. Unless you want to ship them to one of us.

[[ion] C2]

I sent AAS an email asking how much of a discount I get and how much clearing them would cost me.
10% if they still go by the sponsor program, Aleromod isn't on the list last time I checked. I'm not sure if AAS would clear headlight corners for you, lol, and if they do, it's going to be an assraping.

[cliffordwoeller]

ok so how about i buy the lights from some where instead of shipping them to me ship them to someone thats willing to do a good job in clearing them for me and then pay for them to ship to me

[Silentalero]

not sure what asking price is to clear but if you want me to clear em, your more than welcome to send em my way with some cash. Just lemme know

[kniedelm9490]

haha that is a tempting offer considering you live in chicago

[cherrington17]

dear god. why can't newbs do this?!!? put it in the oven on the lowest setting for like 10 mins, checking it every few minutes, until you can tell its loose. geeze, stop ignoring these things in the oven!

[adam337]

i cleared mine by putting the oven on Low probably around 150-200 for 10mins came right apart.. trick is to WATCH them

[cliffordwoeller]

i didnt ignore it i set a timer on the oven and when i went to get it the lens was all soft and basically i could have molded it into what ever i want but i dont have the gloves i needed so it went to hell and i got pissed and threw the whoile thing off my balcony into the parking lot... made me feel better though and didnt regret doing it cause i had already messed it up and wasnt gonna fix it soo yeah and you know cherrington not all of us are talented enough to do something that might seem sooo simple to you.. just cause its simple to you doesnt mean its that easy for someone else. Like I work on engines when it cxomes to engines I like to think I can figure it out pretty easy and others when it comes to engines cant figure out where the dip stick is or the let alone the radiator cap

[lonnie]

If you have access to a heat gun it is by far the safest and easiset way to do this.

we've had it screwed up much worse then you have... but even still... its not that hard. everyone just keeps cooking them and forgetting. if you keep an eye on it, its pretty basic.

[AJules]

I forgot about them. :)

lol oh, well I see how that could be a problem.

[Noseminer]

Wow, makes me second guess clearing mine. I probably still will try it on my own, just won't use the oven method.

[ares89]

You are not stronger than the liquid cement GM uses on them so dont try to tear it apart either.

thank you for stating this 9 months after i did mine...

guys, don't be put off by this. just watch them and it'll be fine. lowest setting for a couple minutes... they aren't cookies, 350 isn't needed for 20 minutes..

[Silentalero]

haha that is a tempting offer considering you live in chicago

lemme know if you wanna ever come over, i can just clear em while your here. It doesnt take long

[xXManwhoreXx]

I went to a salvage yard and found a totalled alero, I took the 2 front head lights out, cost 20 bucks for both, and cleared em, I sold the original 2 to a neighbor who ran into his garage door when he was drunk, (at least thats the story hes telling me)

[xXManwhoreXx]

I was really scared to do mine the first time, but I still tried it, and It was simple, only hard part was standing in front of an open oven cause its hot.

[cliffordwoeller]

lol so maybe i will try a junk yard and see if theyhavesome decent ones

[cutelilcntrygrl]

buy mine :)

[cliffordwoeller]

oh yeah how much you want ? lol and whats all included in that ? maybe something a lil extra ? lol jk

[Vinman]

I used a heat gun (if you try using one, keep it moving)...seperating the inside piece from the actual lens was a pita.. but its done, and now i have to get those bulbs that are clear, but light up amber

[cliffordwoeller]

yeah i want those bulbs too and next time i get lems and go to clear them then i am gonna go get a heat gun

[cutelilcntrygrl]

oh yeah how much you want ? lol and whats all included in that ? maybe something a lil extra ? lol jk
nice try.. lol.. how much do you want to pay for them?

[cliffordwoeller]

I dunno what ever is fair for you

[cutelilcntrygrl]

how about i ship mine to you and you ship yours back to me and you pay shipping? fair enough?

[cliffordwoeller]

wow reall ? yeah thats awesome
