Renewing One-Piece Headlights.

You are going to have to remove the lights from your car to do this and it WILL take quite a bit of time and elbow grease. In fact, it's just plain tedious. But here are the steps and things you'll need.

Things you'll need:
1. Bowl of water
2. 2 Sheets 400 Grit Wet/Dry Sandpaper
3. 2 Sheets 600 Grit Wet/Dry Sandpaper
4. 2 Sheets 1000 Grit Wet/Dry Sandpaper
5. 2 Sheets 1500 Grit Wet/Dry Sandpaper
6. Turtle Wax No. 5 (heavy duty/red) rubbing compound
7. Turtle Wax No. 7 (light/white) polishing compound
8. Meguir's Clear Plastic Cleaner
9. Meguir's Clear Plastic Polish
10. Soft terry cloth towels

Steps:
1. Remove lights from car.
2. Use the 400 grit sandpaper and start sanding the surface of the lights lengthwise in only a side to side motion. DON'T CHANGE DIRECTIONS (up/down or circles). At first don't use any water, but add water as the clear coat starts to come off. You'll be able to tell where it is and isn't coming off.
3. Repeat above procedure with the 600 grit sandpaper after all of the clearcoat is removed (use water).
4. Repeat using 1000 grit sandpaper with water.
5. Repeat using 1500 grit sandpaper with water.
6. Now use a soft terry cloth towel to work in the Turtle Wax heavy duty rubbing compound using same side to side motion. Work that in for about 5 minutes and rub clean and dry.
7. Get a new terry cloth towel and work in the Turtle Wax Light Polishing Compound. Work it in for about 5 minutes and wipe clean and dry.
8. Examine the lights and see that all of the clearcoat is gone and that most of the hairline scratches from the sandpaper are gone.
9. If it looks pretty good, apply the Meguir's Clear Plastic Cleaner with a clean terry cloth towel. Work that in until it's clean and dry.
10. Now apply the Meguir's Clear Plastic Polish with the same towel. After being rubbed in thoroughly, use a clean towel and wipe it dry. The light should look close to brand new.

Once again, this is going to take some time as you can probably tell, but the end result is well worth it. If possible, invite a friend over and have him work on one while you work on the other (be prepared to buy him a meal for the favor he is doing for you). Best of luck and let me know if you have any questions. Later.

 

Or just buy some edm glass headlights off me!

 

I got a WAY easier solution for you:

- pull the headlights apart
- clean the insides w nail polish remover (make sure it is the kind that has ACETONE in it)
- put them back together

YOU"RE DONE!

 

Buy glass ones that don't have all the nasitness.

I wish I had the money to buy em.

 

i still have a nice EDM rear bumper inc sticker waiting for you.. in white too!

 

Awesome, just hold onto it for me and I will buy it when I have the cash.

 

this method is easier:

take some 1000 grit and lightly sand the lense with side to side motion
do the same with 1500 grit
then take a dremel with a buffing wheel, put on some polish, on low speed lightly buff the lense (be carefull not to melt plastic by holding it in one spot with no polish and high speed) and youre done. ive done this on several cars and it looks great. takes about 30 mins on each lense.

 

wetsand it with 1500 then 2000 grit and take it to a body shop and see if they can clear it for you for 20 bucks. thats how much i do it for if they wetsand it themselfs. if not 50 bucks to wetsand and clear.

 

thanks for the info guys much appreciated

 

anyone got pics of there headlights??

 

Steps in sand paper are key. If not, just remove the clear coat and you should be good. thats the problem with them, the clear coat gets yellowed because of sun and the lenses look yellow.

 

does any one know a place where they make clear crx head lights? without all those ridges and ****?

 

Have not tried it yet but the commercial says it should work! Flitz it!
