Default Guy quoted $135 for clearing headlights.

Is it supposed to be that expensive??
He said he has to take off the bumper and take out the lights etc...
I told him I thought what you do is put blue tape around the headlights and then clear it up without pulling apart the front...but he said that might dent the bumper or scratch the paint..

wait..do they clear the outside or the inside of the headlights or both??
If it's inside then that makes sense...hmm..

Anyone have cleared their headlights before?? wanna help for little bit of cash??
but you need to have experience and skill LOL
I live in Edgewater and will travel 30-40min..

thanks

Yeah you do have to take of the bumper, pull apart the headlights, and insert a clear side maker available from Ricks or go naked.

Lens $100

labor 2-4 hrs.

I'd jump all over that price.

I think the OP means "clearing" the haze on his headlights, not his diffusers.

If its dehazing the lights, just do it yourself. If it's CLEARING the lights (as in baking them in the oven and replacing the diffuser) $125 is dirt.
