Wow the more I look at this the more excited about it I get. I thought I would never have perfect headlights until this popped up. So when you say the film is applied for a permanent solution to the fading and yellow, does the film itself wear down and need replacing? I guess I'm asking what is the expected life of the film in a fairly warmer climate if it were driven daily?

I would say that a Projector Retrofit service would be for the most OCD or to achieve a show quality light output. And even with a projector retrofit, if you don't have clear projector lens, it still won't put out the optimum lighting capabilities of your projector system. All factory projector lenses have textured surface to diffuse a certain amount of light.

Hey guys, here's another almost impossible restoration we did. LOL Just wanted to bring to you guys' attention as well, we know some people drive their vehicles daily and choose to just get another set for us to work on. First off, our restoration pricing is slightly matched as to buying another set. Second, we actually do core exchange as well.
Here are some photos of the set of headlights we restored and did a projector lens upgrade on. The set was actually from different years, and some parts didn't match.
Like this park light diffuser, which is partly chromed.

And the projector cutoff plane from a 92-94 and a 95-96.

Besides the obvious weathered and scratched up surface, heavy condensation have also began to damage the chrome reflectors and have left marks inside the lens.

Wow, those look great! I was worried about my reflectors being too damaged since they have been taken apart and painted "chrome". One headlight is even missing the lower reflector and is left with an open triangle on the base, kind of hard to explain. Is it better to just order a used set and send them in or do you have a lot of parts to replace and repair with? In other words, what would be easier on my wallet and your time, sending in thrashed headlights or just buying a used set and sending them in? Feel free to PM if need be. Thanks
