Any answer to this^^?

Nipples should be easy to cut off... I was just always wondering if the way the plastic was molded if there would be a hole or weak spot there.

I think its the UV that breaks down the plastic. You may clean them up, but eventually with enough exposure to the sun they will fade again...just look at any car with plastic lights sitting in the junk yard. Unless the lenses were made out of glass, they will fade/fog.

So was the back of the housing cleaned up too? The angle on the cleaned up lenses shows less of the back housing compared to the first pic, however, there is a noticeable color difference? Why is that?

Default Here is the Restoration Kit.

Thanks for being patient everyone. We have put together a kit that will get you the same results you see in the lights above. I personally can restore a set in about an hour but keep in mind I have been doing this for 13 years now. Some lights will take longer depending on their current condition and you own ability. We include instuctions with pictures to guide you through the process taking alot of the guess work out.

Deluxe Headlight Restoration And Sealer Kit


Info on the kit:

Cloudy sun damaged headlights not only look terrible but are also potentially dangerous for night driving. Cloudy sun damaged headlights cut down on the actual light projected from the vehicle to the road nearly 50% which gives you less time to maneuver around road hazards. On a very dark street your headlights will become nearly useless.

If your looking for a kit that will remove the cloudy, burnt plastic look from your headlights restoring them to like new condition then this is the kit for you. Unlike the quick fix kits you see on the market with just the clear sealant that only masks the burnt plastic which will ultimately flake and peel off. This kit will remove the cloudy haze look from the lights and will also add a layer of protection shielding them from the sun's harmful UV rays.

This kit will work on all plastic polycarbonate lenses without removing them from vehicle. Great for mobile detailers, car lots and even the do-it-yourself car lovers out there who maintain their own vehicles. Included are easy to follow instructions with pictures to guide you through the whole process from start to finish.


Included In The Kit:
M1 Polishing Cream - 12 oz.
T2 Polymer Sealant - 12 oz.
600 Grit Wet/Dry Sand Paper - 4 Squares
1000 Grit Wet/Dry Sand Paper - 4 Squares
1500 Grit Wet/Dry Sand Paper - 4 Squares
2000 Grit Wet/Dry Sand Paper - 4 Squares
Drill Mounted Velcro Backed Mandrel
Velcro Backed Twisted Wool Buff Pad
Velcro Backed Green Foam Finishing Buff Pad
2 - 16"x16" Microfiber Towels

Depending on the severity of the headlights this kit will restore 2-4 sets of headlights. We include plenty of polishing cream and sealant to restore approximately 10 sets of lights when used properly. Additional sheets of sand paper are available seperately in our Abrasives & Blades catagory on our site.

Kit Price:
$44.95

If you read his post instructions are included with it, and I doubt you will get them unless you buy the kit.

I cut mine off with cuters and then sanded them down.
