Default Headlights

Just wondering if anyone local does headlights like clean and reseal them.. I have a SC and everyone knows they fog up. I'm too scared to do them myself because knowing myself I might melt them in the oven. If anyone does them or knows a shop that does and wont rape me on price then hit me up. Thanks in advance.

Wukash needs to get them cleaned inside too. We opened a spare headlight. It will take two poeple most likely to split them open... otherwise no problem.

Mine were foggy to. I bought this headlight restore kit from walmart for $20 and they look way better than they did. Most of the foggyness was on the outside. And it was not that hard at all!!!

The thing is even with condensation there is no foggyness. Condensation just develops in it when it rain or humid when it isnt its perfect.

Perhaps you can get together with Wukush and do it together. You guys have the same problem.

I've got quite a bit of experience with S2000 headlights, baking them, separating them, modding them, and then resealing them.

I doubt Lexus/Toyota manufactures their lights any different. I'm sure I can give a hand....put together a day and location, I'll make it out to help.

In fact just a month a go, I hosted a headlight clearing day at my house. We cleared out 6 pairs of headlights in one day.
