Except for that one^.:drool: Want to have a stratus again? :agreed: I would trade in an instant, but I know that won't happen
nice G buddy. im also in the market for a G coupe. u know anyone interested on an eclipse?
I don't think I ever want a 3G or stratus again. I had way to much issues with rust and few other things out of mine. Just don't want to deal with that again.

Get those headlights of yours modded. Im opening mine up this weekend!!! :)
You have no idea how scared I am to totally screw up my headlights. :( I could practice baking the lights on the old eclipse headlights I have. If you didn't do it yet, you should take pics and show me what it is you painted on yours. :p I want to paint that orange marker black, but I don't know what it will look like with just black paint on it. :p speaking of paint, what kind of paint are you using on the headlights and are you sanding before painting? Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to screw my car over. :lol: I'm taking to get it tinted at a local tint shop this Monday. I can't wait!!! :wub:

I would have to open up the headlights and I'm still too damn afraid too because of how expensive these things are, haha. I want to know how it went for wright when/if he did it but he hasn't been on in a while. :/

It's easy. Take off all of the wiring,bulbs and screws that holds the lenses in around the outer edge of the headlight. Pre-heated the oven to 250 and put the headlight on top of a baking sheet with a damp cloth on it. Left my headlights in there for 7 minutes each. Need something slim to pry between the lens and back part of the headlight. Gently pry until you see the two separating. At that point you can use a little force and pull them apart. Just take your time and go slow and you'll be fine.

Once they are apart, mod away then reverse the process. Squeeze the lens and housing back together, bake them and them squeeze them together completely to make a seal. Some ppl use clamps on the headlights while they cool to make a good seal. You can also run some clear waterproof caulk around the seam for extra moisture protection as well.

If you have anymore questions PM me for my # so we can text.

I've not update because ive got my lights apart but not done anything else yet lol
