1200 grit isnt enough. use the finer papers as the polish only does so much

 

i took a better pic of what it looks like looking thru the lense

 

I didnt deline my headlights, but i wetsanded the outside of my headlights with 2000 grits always keepin the sandpaper wet and then 3m rubbing compound . that heavy cut compund is too rough

 

BS on the ebay headlights yellowing, i've had them for over a year now, first on the ebay housings, now they are on my OEM housings. All i did was wipe them clean and install.


After a year and a half, on OEM housings for my retro:





Just to let you know, i've never buffed them ONCE


When i first got them:




Still crystal clear, no scratches, no yellowing, no hazing period.

Dont say things that you dont know.


As far as your headlights buddy, go lighter on your low grits and even lighter and longer on your high grits all the way to 6k if you can, buff with plasticx and your good. If its still not clear enough for you your gonna have to use a polymer coating.

 

you can always just keep a look out or post a WTB thread for some damaged oem headlights.. i've seen headlights go for 25 to 50 a piece.. just find one with a broken housing or something and use the lens to replace yours.

 

His lenses are ok, he just has to keep trying, it i was easy, it wouldnt be custom. Dont give up brother.

 

agree with everythign Zach said - I havent had any yellowing or problems with the lenses from the ebay headlights.

 

LoL, name's julian brother, but to the subject, there is nothing wrong with the ebay headlights, esp the lenses.

 

same mine are working out great

 

If thier is anyone who knows about lights on this forum it is UZZ30-SC4 aka light man..........lol

 

HAHA, thanks bro, when it comes to these plastic lenses it just takes patience and persistence, if you can do that, you lenses will be perfect in the end....well that applies for just about anything else for that matter.

 

whoops' confused you with UZZ-TT my bad.

sorry bout that, julian

 

w0w! thoses look really nice! after looking at your headlights I would rather just go the easy route and find some ebay headlights anybody got a pair forsale now?!?

Thanks for all the encouragement guy! I hate sanding! LoL.. but I guess im stuck with them for awhile

 

do yourself a favor and buy yourself one of those mothers power ball buffers. i got the cone shaped one at advance for 25$. worth its weight in gold makes polishing 10x easier. took me 2 weeks to deline my drivers side headlight and ive been procrastinating on the passanger side and highbeams for about a month now but my drivers side looks so sexy n clear i smile inside everytime i see it.

 

Hey! I think I heard my name through the ether? Sup Shaitaan!
I think you should just continue on with finer grits -you can't give up now- Those stock lenses are almost complete! Just put them down for a week and come back at them later when your patience comes back. (And hands aren't worn down and sore from sand paper...)
