need help with headlamps
Re: need help with headlamps
Hi everybody I still can't get this phone to post pictures I'll have to go downstairs and take another picture tomorrow however I just want to thank you all so much I ended up finding a restoration back backyard guy who popped up on one of the threads I was sent for headlamp restoration. Because I knew so much, thanks to all you guys I was able to help him did all the taping it was quite fascinating. He even managed to change the bulbs out for me to a cooler type of LED. The results weren't perfect my lamps were so badly damaged they were etched pretty much all the way through but I'm very happy my goal was to increase the light available and the safety factor and I have that now. Will send you a picture tomorrow I just want to thank you guys so much. I had a tire explode on the freeway last week it was really something. So I am highly motivated to improve the safety of my ride. According to the tow truck driver and the dealership they had never seen anything like it literally zero rubber, rim only and managed to navigate off to the side in 3 seconds flat at 110 k. No damage to the rim. The sensation was like they talk about with those pro golfers who suddenly have all the time in the world to make the perfect Shot.... I feel extremely grateful

If you are happy with your headlights now, you may want to consider one of these kits to protect the lens from chips and UV. I have a kit on two Crossfires and a Mercedes CLK. On my Limited the film has been on the car for over ten years and my lights look new. click the link for an XPEL headlight kit CLICK

Re: need help with headlamps
Hell I was buffing out the aluminum on my semi so while I took a break. I taped off the roadster’s left front light. Took the red clay hit it with my buffing wheel and the plastic shined right up? We use red for a deep cut in aluminum so if you try this I would use the white for final finish. But it worked fine with little to no effort.
