Which is better, to restore my headlights or purchase new ones

[trevonjs89]

Right now im on a pretty tight budget but have enough for HIDS, is it best to buy the kit to restore my lights or simply buy new ones

If you could take some picture's i would love to tell you weather to buy new ones. There is a point where you still can restore them i would just need picture's. Up load picture's to here.

I use 3M rubbing compound and shop towels, and with the left over compound us it to clean up your rims or faded areas

restore them. i did it from a kit at autozone and the foggyness went away but if you got water inside the housing i say get new ones.

Restore your lights for like 10 or less, then go buy hids, new headlights will run you up to a couple hundred for decent ones alone. OEM are almost 1k a pair.

Should everyone go to 2000 grit or does it depend on how hazed it is? I really like your corner lights, did you paint those amber or are those OEM sets.

the low grit is to get out the big scratches
the higher grit will basically almost smooth it out.
I would go up to 2000 anyway.

Thanks. Some people stop at 1000 grit then they polish it. Personal preference, I went to 2000 grit wet sand.

1500 then 2000 grit wet sanded... then use polish on them... and WAAALAAA... they look near new
