well I finally did it today, it was nice so i got out my sand paper and krylon crystal clear coat. My headlights looked like *** , dull and hardly translusent(cant spell). <p>Well All i did was clean them, sand with fine sand paper till it was totally smooth, Sprayed on a coat, sand, spray on a coat and so on. Well they arent perfect but they look so much better, if i could have took them off and brought them inside i coulda been more precise. But ya for 10 bucks it looks almost like new headlights. <p>Keep in mind this is the same thing you are doing when you polish your headlights, except this is permanent.

what grit sand paperdid yo use

ummmmm i cant remember and i cant find the package. It was really fine, I guess you just wanna use common sense, you need a really fine grit that will smooth it out but not put gouges in it.

probably an 800grit wet/dry sandpaper would be best

Sorry but which exactly did you spray with clear coat and sanded? Was it the housing? <p>thanks

Got any pics?

probaly not, most likely the lens.

got any before/after pics?

hey guys, no i dont have any pics. I refinished the outside lense of the headlight, didnt even take it off just put some fabric over the paint and what not. <p>Ummm I have some pics on my site of when i did the blinkers, that should give you an idea. <p>They seriously look brand new, everytime i get out of my car i g and look at em" I did my blinkers in october and they are still as shiny as the day i did them.

It actually works. I decided what the hell, why not! So I sanded them down with the finest sandpaper I could buy, then I cleaned off all the dust, and after that I sparyed them with the clear coat. And all I got to say is that they turned out really nice. Almost brand new, i'll take some pics and try to get them developed today so I can post them.

Isnt it awesome!! a permanent solution to those plastic headlights. I love it, it makes my car look new. Glad someone else tried it.
