ok so i was bored, and frankly couldnt see that well from my headlights at night. i tried a few of these before and the lights usually go back to the way it was after a little bit. furthermore, this kit has a clear coating step that most doesnt have to help keep the lights shiny, and it saves from buying new ones...


got this from advance auto parts, paid like $24, had all the stuff and instructions, cant mess up


this is what i started with


this is the finished product after some elbow greese was applied

Any idea how long it would last?

i had something similar on my maxima, and it lasted over 2 years, i guess the clear coat really does what its suppose to do, so im hoping for the same result here

I used the 3M kit and it worked hella good. I also did it to my High beams as well and they look brand new

Looks good though.

I have a write up on cv headlamp restore, it's been a good month now still super clean. It comes with a sealant protecting the lamps from fogging again

Only way to get permanent fix for the yellowing SC headlights is to sand them down 800>1000>1500, do a degreaser wipedown, and apply a UV protectant clearcoat (a few coats). Your lights will look brand new and will be perfectly clear (no yellowing whatsoever) for at least several years if you do it right. If this kit is really a good coating it will last years.

The buff and shine approach is nice for a quick temporary fix, but be prepared to do it on a monthly basis because if your lights are all yellow, it only means the factory UV coating is completely gone from the plastic.

i used the 3M kit as well. had great results. i actually used my own sandpaper and wetsanded the lights. then used the trizac pad and buffing pad. looks brand new. i couldnt even see the insides of the lights before i started lol.
