i will charge 70 bucks to do anyone's altezzas but i will insure if anytin happens i will replace,,, :D (im jokin eh,,,)
Its the riskiest thing you can do to your car, but since i have already lost the passenger side of the set in my accident, i had nothing to lose. And hey, if anyone wants the driver side which i did this MOD to, i will sell it for 70 bucks CDN, just send me the dough and i will ship tommorow,,, :p

People might call me crazy but I would pay you $70 to do them for me. Also I would even say you did them around here. I couldn't take credit for that. I suck at trying things like this.

Now what is the purpose of heating them up? Is it so the adhesive gets tacky again, so you can just remove the outer plastic? If that is the case, then I assume that heating them again, will warm it up and then you put them back together? Does the adhesive get hard enough to hold or do you add more adhesive when you put them back together?

the first time you head it up, the silicone becomes firmer and it would be easier to take off the lens. the second time you do it to make the silicone firmer to put it back together,,,<p>And just a reminder that if you happen to watch simpsons while cooking your headlights, you can have melted headlights with your hamburger the following night,,, :D <p>:p<p>[ February 23, 2003: Message edited by: kuruption1983 ]</p>

So that means that you should not have to use any additional means of sealing them up? I have read that altezzas are notorious for getting moisture inside. It would not be a bad idea to give them extra sealer would it?

Just use a good Hair dryer with some thick gloves or try a Heat gun but be careful and don't burn yourself. NEVER use an oven!
