headlights refinished
got this 3M headlight restoration kit
consists of 3 types of sanding pads and a buffing pad my headlight lenses were horribly yellow and dull (the pictures dont look as bad as they did in person) the kit worked pretty well for me i didnt get around to washing the car completely before taking the final pics...

Re: headlights refinished
That does look pretty good, actually.
Mine are pitted badly, and while I buff them fairly often (which seems to help) it doesn't seem to get rid of the rough spots. I suppose the best solution would just be to get a set of new ones...

Re: headlights refinished
Where'd you get them from?
I'd really like to get my hands on a set of glass ones (obviously) but I know how hard those are to come by.

Re: headlights refinished
Yeah glass sounds nice but expensive. I don't like expensive so it's be nice to find this headlight stuff..

Re: headlights refinished
I don't mind spending the money on quality parts, so that's not it. I just know they're not easy to be had! And mine are fine for now, so until I actually need new ones, they'll do fine.
