hello i just got some pretty clean jdm headlight lenses. but there still a little foggy. and the previous owner bombcanned his car and got overspray on them. what is the best way to make these look new again? i tried acetoner in a tiny spot it worked but will that eat through the plastic or anything?? thanks

 

yes it will. just sand the overspray with 800 grit then 1500. next compound and polish

 

but the compound and polish alone didnt take away the foggy ness. do i sand the whole headlight with the 1500?

 

Not sure about cleaning the plastic jdm lights, but.....if i were you, i'd sell them and upgrade like i did.

Get some real glass models from Europe. The won't fog up, they can be had in proper left hand design so not to blind oncoming traffic like jdm models. They also use actual H4 bulbs....way better imo

 

will my corner lights work with the euro ones?

 

yes

 

are the euro ones actually the same size as the jdm ones. for some reason the euro ones always looked more round toward the middle of the bumper.

They are "exactly" the same dimensions and bolt in the same way. I've had both, and use the edm ones for my ef8 conversion.

Also, some euro lights have the motorized height adjustable option, very cool
