ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    how do i remove this sticky stuff off my head light?

    hey guys i was doing my black housing headlights yesterday and i taped off the middle pieces of the headlight and spray painted the rest. after i was done like a idoit and i stuck the lights in the oven so the paint will cure but i left the tape on the lights when i put them in the oven. after i took them out and took the tape off there was this sticky stuff from the tape on the lights. i tried taking it off with rubbing alchol but that didnt work. what do you guys think i should use to take this stuff off. Any advice will help thanks

        It eats the gooey stuff. I'm not sure, but double check that it won't eat the paint off too. It's not very caustic so I don't think it will.

          Your headlight is toast. Your only option now is to buy a new light, don't even waste your time/money on Goo Gone.

              My answer or the situation?

              The reflector is melted/burnt. There's nothing that's going to reverse that.

                That it's toast. At least they aren't expensive.

                And it's just the sticky stuff off the tape that's on the lens, how is it melted?

                      No, it's on the half moons at the rear of the assembly. The part you tape off when blackhousing the lights.

                            Foaming glass cleaner. You'd be surprised what kind of shit that stuff removes.

                            I use it to remove dead bugs splattered on hoods & bumpers.
