    Ok, well, I could not get that sealant to separate. If your services were available, I would gladly purchase another set, pay for shipping, and pay you $100 per headlight to do the same. I really just don't like the last bit of chrome in my headlights.

    I guess that's unfair to ask outright. Anyone in the Seattle area that might be able to help me out?

    I haven't replaced the socket. Do you mean where the headlight assembly goes into?

    plasti dip emblems, TRD off road wheels, pro clips cell phone mount. 20 percent tint.
    So the pre 16s were easier to bake and separate? I had a 09 and i only baked one time for each side to separate. Was thinking of doing it to my 17 taco.

    I personally have not had success. It wouldn't separate. It was tried enough that some of theach back plastic melted.
