Fog light restoration?
Fog light restoration?
Has anyone had any luck in restoring the glass fog light lens? I see I am not the only one with pitted lens on the glass fog lights. I would like to get mine back in shape without spending $400 bucks.
What about this?

Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market used foglamps
polish out glass scratches
I removed and cleaned the inside of my foglamps this removed that hazy film and they look a lot better. I haven't tried to polish out the scratches hope the video helps. car-parts .com prices are reasonable, I have used them on other parts

I used the 3M kit for this. Bought it from the local auto parts store. It worked fantastic. All you need is a drill motor.
Meguires has a kit as well
Warning, you must tape off the area around the lens, or risk damaging your paint.

I believe so, James1549 tried to polish the glass some time back, but removing a couple of thou of glass takes some doing. Probably need a diamond wheel of some kind to do it, getting finer and finer until it was polished again.

I had bought a fog light from eBay really cheap and it was terribly pitted.
I got some glass polishing stuff from Amazon that was advertised to fix pitted windshields.
2 hours later and almost burning out my drill, I had hardly made a difference.
I sold the light as-is.
