Default Re: Headlight problems

The driver side one is as bad as the one we fixed, yes. The one we did today is a passenger side headlight BUT it has a broken tab so we'd rather not put it in the car. It was a learning process so we can have the confidence to do the two I have on there now.

The passenger side one on the car now isn't nearly as bad, but of course, we want to remove ALL of the hardcoat on that one too.

See, when the corrosion started on my original pair, I bought some used ones from Ebay that were pretty good shape! i kept the one we cleaned today, but for some reason back then, we tossed the driver's side original headlight assembly.

When I dug out the original, I noticed it wasn't nearly as bad as the one we took out to practice on. So, we put the original back on the car and kept out the broken tab one to practice on. The driver's side one that's in the car now is baaaaaaaad. Well, the same as the spare we cleaned up.

I know that's about as clear as mud, eh? ;
