Those of you that wanted to see pictures of Rob's headlight cleaning, look no further!

I did the same thing 2 weeks ago. I thought they came out great! Until I bought some new headlights and realized that NOTHING can compare with new headlights.

I actually went 600, 1500, 2000 grit. Then 3M rubbing coumpound, then McGuires plastic cleaner, then 3M plastic polish. They actually came out better than those pictures show, and I was still not happy.

My recommendation, spend the $140 and get new headlights off of ebay.

 

How do your headlights get like that anyway, mine look just like new almost after 9yrs.

 

I bet you $100 if you put a new headlight next to it you'd notice a HUGE difference. I didn't notice that mine were dirty until I put my projectors and HIDS in and actually had decent light coming from them.

 

did u clean from the inside or just outside

 

yea what exactly did u clean ?

 

He cleaned the outside which is what gets oxidized and scratched. Not the inside.

 

Your 95 has glass headlights which can't yellow or haze. They only get pitted. The 97-99 headlights are plastic.

 

Good point I didn't see that. The 97-99's are also much better performers.

 

where exactly is this writeup that everyone is talkign about to do this? i saw the original posting by zagato27, but he too referred to a writeup that I cannot locate on here. I'm ready to try this out, got all the materials today.

I have never cleaned my headlights, but they look pretty sharp to me... not sure why yours are getting so hazy. Too much sun?

Good point, noted.
