I figured out a cheap way to fix the problem with the cloudy headlights or I should say a buddy of mine did... First get a drimel tool and a few polishing wheels and a razor blade... Take some polish and slowly work your way over the whole headlight be careful not to stay in one place to long or you can burn the headlight... The razor blade is for when the polishing wheel starts to gum up just touch it to the razor blade... For the whole job it takes about three wheels and about two hours of time... We did mine about 6 months ago and they looked brand new but about a month ago you could tell they were starting to turn again so we repolished them and then added laminx and they really look sharp now... I got the laminx from a guy up in Blue Ridge, GA and it was around $90..

I'll say it again...just buy new headlights. It's well worth the 500 bucks.

 

Didn't O.L.T. do a DYI write up on this already?

I think it was with lens cleaning too

 

We've been polishing headlights for YEARS, but......... thanks.

 

1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper with a little bit of water is EASY. Then polish after with that red can of rim polish. Looks like brand new.

Every month or so touch up and repolish with the rim polish to keep em looking fresh.

Total cost under 10 bux if u dont have the stuff already. Free and about 30mins of easy labor while your drunk on a saturday afternoon if u got the stuff laying around (well beer isnt free?)

Ive made the nastiest yellowest cloudiest headlights look like new within minuites. No need to buy new ones that will do the SAME thing in 2 months here in fl.

In a few weeks or maybe even this week, whenever i get enough energy, i will post a thread about how to "de-line" them. I did not do a write up on how to remove the diffusers out of the 92 tails due to the simple fact the batterys were dead in the camera lol.

 

I wouldnt spend $500 on the same headlights unless they were glass.

 

As far as i can remember, the SC/Soarer never came with glass in the JZZ3x body

 

lol...oh lordie....so someone found a MORE expensive and LONGER TAKING method of restoring our headlights?


great!

 

I've had these new headlights 3 years now. They're holding up pretty well in the south florida heat and humidity. Got new foglights too. I tried the polishing thing. Looked a lot better but they'll never look new. NEVER! Close but never look new....and won't last long without more polishing. I'm not knocking the polishing thing but I'm hearing a little tone that sounds close to being knocked for buying new lights. What's up with that?

 

Im cheap I like fixing old stuff. Altho if i could buy new glass ones, id be the first on the list

 

I got new headlights as well.Like reggie said, it's well worth it. I got tired of buffing the lights every weekend. I just use a little plast-X on it and it does the job.

 

You guys seem to be missing one key component... Once you clean the lens AND put the laminex on you dont have to polish it anymore... A buddy of mine has had the stuff on his integra for two years now and it looks just like it did when he put it on...

 

yeah i got new ones put on too, they look a lot better than they used to. =)

 

Giving away a little time will make em look better, polish makes a world of difference.

 

Im having the same problems with the headlights where can I find some?
