This morning a big ass truck blew snow all along the drivers side headlight. Pushed in my headlight and broke one of the rings inside and the bracket that holds the light. My side marker went flying who knows where but i just bought one and need to VHT tomorrow. If anyone has or knows where i can buy a used driver side headlight please message me asap and i will come get it . Trying to see if i can get it fixed before SF.

holy crap. I have a set of stock OEM headlights, but they are still in California. I know Moparsupercenter is asking $180 for just the left light. Shoot me an offer if you are interested and I'll see if my parents can overnight it to me. Unless there is another member on this forum that has a set and can help Mikey now.

My dad and i just checked it out again and we found out its not that bad. We need to open the headlight and attach the ring that came off. I spoke to mecha and he has an extra back part and would sell it to me for $25 at SF. I think we are just going to fix it as best we can for now.

bake the headlight at 250 degrees for about 15 minutes. Then you should be able to peel it apart. If I'm wrong someone correct me. Greg has done it.

PM Greg. I know there is a write up on how to do it on chargerforums. I know aacstyle has a video on how to install their halos which includes how to take and install the light cover.

After you seal it with the silicone can you take it apart the same way?

Yeah, you would just bake it again.

I found one write up Bake at 210-215 for 12-15 min. Another for Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes. Anyone know for sure? Or will they all work?

Well, the hotter you cook, the less time you need. Slow and steady is my theory
