Help w/ Clearing Headlights?

Can somebody in Houston or surrounding areas clear and/or black out my headlights for me? I'm not to good with the DIY's.

i knew nothing about doing this to, but i had a day off i went to try to get the bumper off and it came off pretty nicely. then it was all down hill. awsome instructions posted on this site even i was able to do it. i just did it yesterday it took me about 3 hours. i am just worried about the chaulking/silicone, if i put enough on.

I didn't have to re-seal my headlights. After I cleared them i just put them back together, with the original seal. Thats been almost 6 months ago, and still no moisture in them.

Well not everyone is lucky like that. I have cleared headlights that I bought from procarparts yrs. ago and they came sealed and I had to add some sealent because they kept getting moisture in them.

Well I did it the old fashion way. I put the headlights in the oven for like 10 min, and then took them out and pulled them apart. But the silcone that is already in there was so slimy it got all over everything. And trying to reseal them was a bitch because I kept getting moisture. SO I just bought some off the internet.

Well I had one of them on the car for a little bit and it kept getting alot of moisture in there. I kept resealing it, but still happened. And then I ended up dropping one and breaking it so I just bought new ones. If it wasnt for me dropping that one headlight, I probably would have gotten it eventually.
