Re: Small Car Headlight Kit

Update

I gave up on the headlights I bought with the small car lenses due to just too many issues with seized screws and bent adjustment thingies. I got a pair of stock lenses from a junkyard car that were in decent shape and just a little hazy. I polished them to get the haze out and clear coated them. I screwed up the clear coat so I sanded them down again and tried again. Screwed it up again. I suck at painting. I put some extra coats with the thought that, maybe I could just buff out the bumps and snakeskin imperfections. It took a long time but I finally got them looking decent and I am pretty sure I didn't go through the entire clear coat layer. I finished them off with the best HIR bulbs I could find. Now I am trying to get the aim right. I think I am close.
