Still not completely sure. The lens got melted on the bottom where it was sitting in the oven. Happened to one of DM's headlights as well. I think mine got worse because it got a little melted the first time so the second session in the oven just made it worse. Definitely want to do cardboard soaked in water next time, works way better than aluminum foil.

Sadly for me, without a new job anytime soon I'd have to DIY this again if I did get another headlight. Might try some wetsanding and headlight restoration like you suggested to see if it makes any difference.

Blades, before you try anything, lets get some research done as to how to fix it, if thats even possible.

Clemson had zero defense...marched all over us when you wanted to. Clemson looked good the first half but couldn't keep it up in the second half. We really needed our defense to step it up and make a few stops, our offense couldn't control the whole game with how good the noles defense is. I guess I'm just glad that the game was entertaining for the most part. We shouldn't lose too many spots in the rankings losing to #4 in the nation like that...I hope.

Holly sh*t dude that sucks. Is putting them in an oven the only way to break the seal?

When I had my gti, guys woud do that to their headights all the time, theyd fuk it up after putting them in the oven, but the gti headights were like 150 a set.

Good luck to you man.

Yeah I'm not gonna do anything before researching, but I did see some used headlights on eBay for like $350 each.

It's not the only way, but it's the quickest and most efficient way. A bunch of people on the forum have done it in the oven without any problems. I think maybe a bigger oven would have helped.

blades try brandywineparts.com too. It's like an giant online junkyard they might be able to pull you some lights for cheap. Worth a shot.
