Last night I replaced both of my O2 Sensors after cutting the original ones to extend them to the back on the section 1 .
However, I didn't clear the code, I'm hoping the car will noticed the change and turn off the SES light.

Every time you reset the codes, you need to go through an OBD II drive cycle which is typically 20-30 miles driving at different speeds and RPMs in different gears. Once you do this the monitors go from not ready state to ready.
The trouble I was having initially was that as soon as my monitors would become ready, the SES or the pending fault would come back. I think overall it took my 4-5 cycles to get rid of it. Mind you, I did the O2 relocation in October/November and my car has been in the garage most of the winter and it was driven once every few weeks.
