No, I'm not trying to find out how to remove or clean my headlights.

I don't wanna know how to bake the light and then sand down the lines inside.

Please don't just post a link to your own "how-to" thread on cleaning the lights.

I just wanna see a single collection of everyone's befores and afters. I'm probably going to do this tomorrow. I haven't decided if I want to deline in front of the projector or not yet, but we'll see.

This might also be some encouragement for other owners who have ugly *** lights to clean them out. IMO, cleaning your yellowed lights is the best aesthetic mod you can do.

So, who's got 'em?

 

before sucked, after looked brand new.

 

I'm too afraid to rip my headlights out, cook the hell out of them, and silicone them up I just know that I'll mess up even though I'm a perfectionist...

 

WHatever you do won't be good enough. Just buy new headlights. Nothing like the beautiful glow of new lights. The way the sun hits them and reflects the light. Can't get that from cleaning, baking, polishing...etc.

 

where is a good place to buy new oem headlights? i searched but nothin....

 

I bought mine from the dealership for $500.
Well worth it imo.

 

I cleaned mine the other day with some turtle wax polish and a microfiber cloth. One headlight looked brand new, it blinged in the sunlight.. The other had condensation inside of it about a year ago, and i repaired it. But I cleaned the exterior and it was still yellow/cloudy. The inside of the lense needs to be cleaned so I gotta take it apart again...sigh. Im Just gonna replace it with the headlight on my soarer clip lol.

 

damn...... i just took some a few days ago from the project i've been working on but i deleted the pics on my digi cam....

 

no pics, but 1500/2000 grit and mothers rim polish does the trick for mine

 

'92 light with E39 bi-xenon retro, tuna can trim ring, gunmetal housing and delined lens.

 

Here's mine after cleaning and with painted housing.

 

anyone have instructions for painting the housing? did you guys sand it down first or what? also what kind of paint did you use?

 

All I did after seperating it from the headlight unit was clean surface well to remove any oil residue, 3 coats primer (I used some Tamiya primer that I use for modeling), then used gunmetal colored paint. 3-4 lights coats to ensure even coverage.(forget what brand, but it is the type you can find at any Pep-Boys/Strauss/Autozone.

 

Contemplating painting my housing gunmetal. Can you guys tell me what brand and color you used and manufactures part number for paint if possible?

 

Hopefully I'll be able to get around to do mine this weekend... I'll post before and after pics when I do it.
