Hey guys, I made a thread a little while ago about trying to take my headlights off. I got impatient so I just left them on to do the job. I was careful to not let the sandpaper hit any paint, trust me

Anyway, I used 600, then 1000, then 1500 wet sanding. I then polished it with 3M polishing compound and finished it up with a coat of Meguiars Paste wax. All parts were purchased at Autozone and the project took about and hour total.

This first picture shows fine sanding (1500) on the first light I did, the passenger side. You can see a nice difference already between the sanded and unsanded light.

This is the before and after picture. I think it really makes a difference on the front end of my car. Nice, cheap, easy, effective "mod" =)

looks good. how long would you say it took you to do? might clean up my 95 headlights a little, thanks!

 

About an hour. Make sure you sand thoroughly, especially with the 1500 grade. If you don't, even when you polish + wax, you can see some scratches. But if you take your time and sand every little spot, it will look fine.

 

Nice job! Looks good. I may try that as well on the 96 I30 Sweet!

 

Looks good. Another think you might try is get mothers aluminum polish and scrub your lights. I have done this on my truck and my other cars and it works great .

 

I get the 404 file not found error...what what?
