Default Headlight removal and polishing

These looked semi okay. I took the chance of cleaning them up more. Either gonna have to take them completely apart and sand the inside as well or wait for another pair to show up.





Last photo is the best I can possibly get them.

Used lights are $300-550+
no guarantee that they’ll be any better

for the price of your time and materials, the end result looks pretty good

They look very good. You might be able to get away with a smoke tint film to hide the scratches. Depending on the laws in your area.
What kit did you use? I used the 3M kit and it worked great.

I’m sure I could get away with it. All of my cars are past the legal limits. Haven’t been messed with in the past 10 years including the windshield. That’s a good plan though! But yes. I used the 3m kit with auto grade clearcoat

That seems like a good price. I would get them and keep the others as spares. Just my opinion.
