im in need of a passenger side headlight. my car was purchased used about 7 months ago and carfax shows it was involved in a minor front end collision. the driver side headlight was replaced and the passenger side was not. so ive got a brand new headlight and an old one with lots of fogginess and its really just an eyesore. everywhere ive looked, headlights are about $400. i found one on this site below and was wondering if anybody has had any experience with them? they are $200-250 cheaper than anywhere else so i just want to make sure its not just too good to be true.

anyone dealt with this company before? and if so are they legit? is this the best place to look for a cheap headlight? thanks in advance.

 

Get a headlight cleaning kit. It's work but you'll retain the stock headlamp and ultimately save yourself time.

 

I got one and it literally didn't do anything. maybe I just got a bad brand or something or did it wrong but I followed the instructions.

 

You'll need a kit that has various grades of sandpaper for wet sanding. The more elbow grease you put into it, the better the results. I'd also recommend a hit with a foam pad that attaches to a drill for final polishing. It'll take a solid hour to get it perfect.

 

yeah my kit had that I used like 4 different grades and wet sanded for like 20 minutes with no results. I guess I could try getting it professionally done by someone with like a buffer or something.

 

happen to have a link to where you got yours by chance?

 

Take it to a shop. They only charge you about 20$ to clean it
I have the same problem
But after I got it cleaner, it looked so much better
Only difference is now, my driver side has a clear projector bulb and my passenger side has a milky projector bulb :/

 

I will sell u my headlights for 200 bucks perfect condition

 

Walmart for $20. Last set I polished took about 30-45 minutes per wet sanding stage. They were deeply pitted since we get all the sand on the ground during the winter. It's a lot of work, however, if done correctly, will net near perfect results.

 

Im selling 2 headlights for $280+shipping

Super good deal if you ask me :-)

 

Either buy a new headlight or have a detailer clean it and seal it with some protectant. Using those headlight cleaner will remove the factory sealant that is supposed to protect the headlight, so even after you clean it with those $20 kits from walmart or whatever, in half a year tops it'll turn bad again.

 

That link in the first post shows that the headlight will either be Depo or TYC brand aftermarket headlights. Both are ok quality.
