Time frame for clearing headlights

Ive got a buddy wanting to know how long it takes to clear the headlights, i told him he doesn't need to take off the bumper cover just move it so you can get to the bolt under the headlight assembly. I did mine a long time ago and i just dont remember. But anyone recently clear their lights? How long did it take you if you followed the DIY step by step.

If you've done it before . You can probably get it taken care of in about an hour to hour in a half. If you haven't done it and are going to follow the DIY, then free up 2 hours.

i just cleared them last Sat. took me about 3 hrs, cuz first one is a bittch.....then second one is really easy.

well, make sure use masking tape to preventing that black adheasive thing on ur chrome part when you pull it out, if not, you might get some that black adheasive stuff on your chrome part. took some time, no finger print, no foggin.......

thanks to the tech meet

I took 2-3 hours taking off the entire bumper and baking both lights in the oven. I didn't know what I was getting into, so maybe that's why it took a while. Just take your time.
