I have the Tsunami edition so the lights are painted red on the inside. Basically between the red paint and outside glass, there's some faded fog. When my yellow HIDs are on, it shines yellow. Any ideas of what it could be?

Will post pics soon.

I tried that already, there's something on the inside too and it's quite visible because of the red paint under the plastic on the TRD headlights.

Any guide to taking the plastic off the headlights? I couldn't find any working links.

Actually can I just buy a replacement lens? They were cleaned before however they look worse now after a couple months since cleaned.

What type of glue should be used to reseal the headlights?

I bought a roll of a sealing type thing from home depot to reseal them. I'll get the exact product tomorrow.

And don't worry about the oven thing. It was kind of "OMG" when I was first pulling it apart, put it was no problem after.
