And if you need some web space for the pics, let me know. My server's got plenty of space to spare. |

What are "cleared headlights"?

My server's got plenty of space to spare.[/quote] Cleared headlights are lights that have the amber/orange turn signal lens removed and chrome amber bulbs (which appear silver but light amber) used to provide the amber/orange indicator. PS thanks for the pic space--I'll need to take some to post. |

Also, which car is this? HCH-I, HCH-II? You've posted in the "general" discussion site, and your profile doesn't specify. (Am interested in the leather wheel wrap for the HCH-II.) Thanks.

Did you clear the headlamps in the oven or with a heat gun, etc?
(considering putting the “HYBRID” emblem from the rear trunk in the place where the SI emblem goes); |

IMO, a hybrid emblem there would look bad. I think an IMA emblem would be nice. (if you could get one made) I used the oven method, about 275 F in a convection oven. I ended up doing this in phases--the first one to get the lens partially removed--to start the removal process and then a second heat, followed by complete removal. Then once again to reset the lens after clearing it. I found than 3M adhesive remover takes any stray adhesive off. Then followed with a plastic polish to polish the lens really clean and remove any stuck on road grim. I also am not to sure about the Hybrid emblem there, but I was also thinking about the green leaf that the Ford hybrids have. This is small and subtle. TDSOUP |
