Headlight Polishing????

[killerm]

I scratched my headlights while taking off my covers. I used a cleaner and it must of had a mild abrasive in it.
Does anyone know of anything I can use to polish them?

Right now they have a slight milky haze where I rubbed them to get the glue off. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks I'll have to check it out.

I'm not sure if this will work. The headlight is actually laminated with a flexible plastic coating. Not sure if it is rigid enough to be polished back to clear.

So I guess I may actually be screwed, huh. That F#%^ sucks.

Anyone know the price of new lights. I'm sure they are salty.

I think they are about $700.00 a set OEM
I found a shop that sells black housings for our cars FIZZ , I dont have the link at the moment, but they have a add in Super Street mag, in one of the last 2 issues.

i got 2 new headlights for 500 from my body shop. letting you know so you dont pay too much.

Thanks Guy's. I tried polishing them with a light tac cloth. It actually seemed to work. The scratches weren't deep enough to cause too many problems.

Besides, right now I can think of a few other mods I'd like to spend $800 on then new head lights.

Thanks again for all of the help.

:rofl: I agree with you there. A couple scratches on a headlight would not make me spend that much money. You can do so much to your car with $800. You could always take your car to a dealership and see if they will cover the headlight under warranty. :chuckles:

[killerm]

Yeah warranty. Hahahahaaahaahaaa. That's a good one.

ACTUALLY there is a warranty on moisture inside the headlamps. Mine were very slightly fogged from a lil moisture inside, took it to the dealer just to check it out and they replaced both lights free of charge. Maybe yours have moisture in them too? :naughty:
