maybe try some of the professional strength goof off. That poop will take off anything, from my excess silicone, to my clear coat on my car...just read the back before you buy it, it's pretty nasty shiz, but I got it in the paint clean up section at Wal-Mart.

pull up the two pins and try wiggling it. I don't know what else to do. Make sure to unplug the harness.

well i got it done, looks great without the amber reflectors. i somehow killed the marker lights bulbs. i need to replace them now. i think they were hot when i touched them and they blew.

heres the pics, looks so much better without the amber reflectors.

does anyone know if the amber lenses come out of the tail lights too? it looks to me like they are part of the whole thing.

p1mptress · 10-29-2006, 10:17 PM

ur headlights look good just replace ur marker bulbs w/amber colored ones and replace ur parking lights (the big amber bulb) w/some silverstar bulbs so it doesn't have the amber color showing. Tail lights you can't do! I know someone makes them cleared out custom on here.

who is it? i like the tail lights but just wish i could get rid of the amber shit.

Can't remember the name but you could probably search it on here or someone will probably jump in and help you out w/the name of the person.

Ok, i already have cleared headlights on my '99 (i did it years ago..) But the outside plastic was starting to look ugly and wasnt as clear and pretty anymore... so i wanted new headlights, of course! (it sits outside in direct sun all the time.. does a number on plastic) Ok ordered brand new headlight assemblies on the cheap-izzle...loving my hookups. So I had to re-clear them, and i decided to actually do it "right" this time, as opposed to just wedging and prying and old headlight. WOW new headlights are a BITCH to get apart!!!! my old ones were easy as pie.. but there is SOOOO much more silicon in these new ones.
Anywho, im painting the bezels black, but the huge amounts of silicon everywhere somehow got a little on the front of the chrome bezel (where i intend to paint) And i cant seem to get it off?? whats a good way to get these little bits off? Freezer? i dunno!!

goo gone

Headstrong2740 · 03-28-2007, 02:08 PM

yeah i ran into the same problem... i just reheated and took off what i could... yeah the new headlights have so much more in them... when i had my accident i had to redo one... was a pain in the ass... try freezer and see if it works though and let me know

pawzbear · 03-28-2007, 02:24 PM

ok... thanks. this is a PITA.

i was wedging the first one and my tool slipped so my hand flew up and i hit myself in the mouth really hard.. cut my lip pretty bad on my tooth. my sister thought it was effing hilarious! =( But we oven baked them for a few minutes, would pull it out, i would wedge while she blowdried the crevices of them.. agh!! These things beat me up!
