Re: smoked headlights? HOW?
yea, you can take the front of the headlights off, and then spray the plastic surround inside, but it is a bastard
you have to have real patience.
easily done with standard 'depo' replacements. they are easier to take the glass off than the valeo ones.

Re: smoked headlights? HOW?
You can put the lights in the oven.
You put them in on a low temp until the glue starts to soften, then you peel the lenses off carefully. You then spray the inside if the surround then put it back into the oven to soften the glue again to reattach the glass.
