Winter headlight project

Over the winter, I want to try a long term refurb of headlights. I have two recoat products I am looking into. I feel it is much safer to do this off the car. Since I drive the car daily and I don't know how long it will take, I want to get spare lights to work on. Then I will swap them out and refurb my current lights.

Is anyone willing to loan a set of lights with the promise of getting shiny clear ones in return by Reading? In full disclosure, my lenses do have some minor stress cracks in addition to haziness.

Well, if no one else closer bites, you can ship me yours and, when I am done, I will ship you back a set with the lenses polished and clearcoated.

Re: Winter headlight project

I have a set, but the two bolts on the side of the right headlight are missing/damaged. I am not sure what bolts in there but I am guessing it is probably important. I would be happy to let you play around with them otherwise.
