10 solid minutes @ 250 in oven, not a grill

I've read many folks have had to put them back in the oven because the first go around wasn't quit enough.

I busted my as..heiny at ten minutes but twelve on the second one for me was the sweet spot.

If you grill them you want to seer the outside to lock in the juices then cut your heat to a slow cook. The lights will shine brighter this way.

John, I want to cook your headlights so badly to fix that reflector. Is it still flopping around in there? Also, If you have a rubber mat for the bed I would gladly pay you for it. 6.5?

Good stuff right there ^^^^

Yeah, their both floppin' around like fish in a cooler. IDK, maybe we'll have a cookout with my headlights. I just gotta get up the nerve.

And yes, I still have the rubber matt. Maybe if you buy me a dozen wings and a beer (or two) Sunday you can have it.

Could we deep fry some wings and your lights? Quaker Steak will be your one stop shop.

You know, your light are getting banged up anyway, what do you have to lose? I'll do it for you. You'll just have to make reservations at Andy's F150 custom shop and bump JScharp. He scared the holy heck out of me last Saturday, I thought we really screwed up his truck!

On a side note, if you ever disconnect your cluster, you have to reinstall the harnesses from right to left or it won't initialize itself correctly. Dumb luck discovering that one.

Ya' think they'll let us in the kitchen?

Actually, I would like to have some clear corners. Maybe I'll start looking for those then we'll tear the lights apart. WTH

Thanks man.

Ah man, I'm sorry to hear that. Family comes first. Anyway I'm still screwing around with those dam lights. I ended up taking most of the dash out. It was quite misserable. All for a goofy little mod you know. I fired them up last night and it was pretty cool though. I got to post some pics when I get it back together.

Yeah mine did the same thing. It took several days for them to clear but that was the middle of last winter. That moisture has never come back after that. I hope you did super seal those babies. Little silicone?

Is there something you are trying tell us? Do we need to have an intervention?

Just got my FX2/Harley headlights last night. Man it looks nice. Now the only thing chrome on my truck is the rear bumper.

2 things left on the list. leveling kit, and to get my windows tinted.
