--Baking Corners--
Sunday, April 17, 2005 8:38 AM
Hey guys, for those of you that have done the baking the corners thingy, what temp and how long did you bake them for?

I'm interested in doing so alterations to the stock ones that I have, and getting rid of the clear corners i have.

Any temp ranges or timing would be appreciated. Also, what is a good way to re-attach the lenses?

Thanks

Most people will get mad and tell ya to search, I'm not one of dem...

"ok this is a quickie

1. Remove the headlight from the car and remove the bulbs and everything else you can.

2. pre heat your household oven to 150 and when its done put your light in the oven for 8 min and then check to make sure nothings on fire. (I did mine at 180 for 10 min and it worked great)

3. after you remove it from the oven take a flat head screw driver or 2 and lift the clips that hold the clear plastic on so that they are not cliped anymore. ( BE CAREFUL THEY ARE VERY FRAGILE!!!!!!) then place it back in the overn for about 5 min. and then use the screw drivers to seprate the glass from the headlight. just insert the flathead between the clear part and the head light and twist.(again be careful because it is soft) make sure when your doing this that the clips you lifted off didnt clip back on.

4. After you get a good portion of the clear cover off stick your hand in there and pull it apart.( again be careful!)

5. common sence will set in and you can figure out how to clear the corner you dont need help fig. that out.

6. make sure you scrape all the rubber sealer off so you can get a better seal when you reseal it.

7. i used clear silicone to reseal them."

Do you shut the oven off when you put the corners in or do you leave it on
