great write up, just wondering why you didnt put the resistors on the positive side, thats where the current is coming in. I did my headlights acouble days after you finished the DIY,they came out great, also did a few more in my area for 370 dollers,

I "bake" the headlight at 250 degrees for 13 minutes and it's still not coming off. I don't know what to do...

you can try turning up the heat a bit, just be careful.
If you are uncomfortable with that, I believe Simota1 has a DIY on how to get the lenses off with a heat gun, so you may want to try that.

Ok, I ****** up, my lens has some burn marks due to the cardboard not being wet enough in the oven. I am so mad right now. It's not truly visible from a few feet away but it is once you are looking at the headlight. What can I do besides buy the whole new thing? Do I have a chance of finding someone that will sell me just the plastic lens or maybe find a totaled Z that has the driver side headlight intact?

This is why you lay the housing upright with the lens not touching anything. Purchasing only the lens will probably not be possible. I remember with my 97 240sx I attempted to purchase just the lens for a fog light and it was actually more expensive than the housing, brackets, lens, and bulb bought as an assembly.

I know but my oven is not of normal size or shape should I say and it did not fit the other way. Well actually it did but the attach towards the top of the light was touching the oven metal. I had no other choice...

I would look for a headlight on a wrecked Z, or eBay or something. They are going to be a lot cheaper than factory new. But as Vipor said, you can't really buy just the lens, they come as assemblies.

It's really not too bad, you cannot see it if you are 4 or 5 feet away. Polish with what?

try a headlight polishing compound, or even a light glass polishing compound. If you use an orbital with it, just be very careful you don't get it too hot.
