Whistler mod, before and after shots

i just picked up this car up, and can't stand those nasty yellow lights, i just had to sand and polish them and do the whistler mod on them they came out looking great!!!
this is what i started with...

after a few hours of sanding and polishing i got them to look like this...

then did the whistler mod

i wanted to make them look as clear as my other car's headlights, no way in hell!!!! these are a few months old

The only way to get them perfectly clear probably would be to replace the lenses or the headlights entirely. Considering what they did look like, I think it came out pretty good.

better?

maybe if you sit and sand the **** out of them for a good hour each maybe you can get them a lil clearer, i wet sanded these with 1000 grid sandpaper then polished the **** out of them, maybe if you used a 900 grid if there is any, then the 1000 then the 2000 maybe they would look a lil better but this isn't going to be a show car, i already have it, this is going to be a drag car only
