Just did it over the weekend... the first one was kind of tough but after that it wasn't too hard at all. I know jr02caddyext has the same thing and we both have the same grill. Mine's in Diamond White and his is quicksilver i think. I put it polarg 194 hiperwhites and the color matches our stock HIDs so thats a plus. Just gonna change the turn signal bulb and it should look pretty sweet. The last pic is of our stock headlights.

Congrats.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Looks way better. How long did it take you. I was down in West Covina yesterday doing the same for one of my boys Escalades. I will get pics and post later. I know there is another thread somewere since I dont want to hijack yours.

Wow, that looks awesome. Good job! :thumbsup:

You should definantly get one of those chrome bulbs on ebay to get rid of that orange. I bought a set and its awesome. It turns yellow when the lights are on, but when the lights are off, its chrome.

Anyhow, did you use a heat gun, or the oven baked way to get the headlights apart?

Also, how long did it take you?


Here's a set of chrome bulbs on ebay. Buy it now is only $9.99. :thumbsup:

As said get rid of the amber bulbs, the chrome bulbs work great, looks good. :)

looks good, how hard was it to do, and how long did it take?

Thats an Avalanche, right?

Nice job on the clear headlights.

Yes. Avy with a Caddy front clip.

At first glance I know something didn't look right then upon further review thats what I came up with too.


Great Job on the headlights vietfob714 :thumbsup:

damn I wish I had the balls to try this myself...

thats what i thought at first... dood its not that bad. this is only the 2nd set of headlights i've ever cleared. other one i did was an 03 civic... civic is much easier

That was my 3rd set. I might be clearing out 2 more sets for Escalades and one for a Chevy Colorado.

man I should overnight my lights to one of you guys, to have you clear em out...

Here is the picture of the final product.

hotness

I want to do this, but Im worried about the final product leaking after breaking the factory seal. Do you just break out the orange or does it just pull out? And how do you get the headlight itself apart?

heat gun softens the glue...take it apart... unscrew 3 screws...take out the orange piece reglue it w silicon sealant its raining here and no leaks

Have done 3 sets now and no water leaks. There are more detailed instructions around here, I'll post them up in the morning.

damn, i really like that look but i just know i'll mess it up. anyone up in northern cali (bay area) that can do this for a fee as well? i've seen an escalade with cleared lights but i saw moisture/condensation, so i didn't bother asking where they got theirs done. or maybe i should have to know NOT to go there :)

thunderstorms in socal today... we'll see how nicely my headlights hold up... will update in about a day or two with the results

Are these street legal in CA?

only if theres an amber bulb behind it i think... not too sure

Just finished up the job and went to find Permatex 650 to seal the assembly back up. I could not find it at Pep Boy's or Checker. Is this the only sealent to use? I don't want to make a mistake after all this!

Thanks

Yo jrs02, what color is the blue on your ride? Its the shade that Id like to put on my Camaro
