Bought some of the Ebay "halo" lights a little over a year ago, and they are starting to oxidize and get hazy. So, I figured I'd take out the stockers and shine them up a bit and put them back on. Used 1000 grit sandpaper, 2000 grit sandpaper, Maguire's #7 (I think, white bottle) plastic polish, and then Maguire's #10 (blue bottle) plastic polish/sealer. Looks pretty good. And, btw, the Ebay lights will get the same treatment and then will be for sale soon. Here are some before and after pics.






Didn't turn out absolutely perfect like showroom new, But I think they'll work!

I will be. Should be swapping them out tomorrow, then giving the halo's a good polish.

Did you wetsand, or just sand? How long did it take you?

Wet sand. Took about an hour on each. Also used a dremel with some polishing pads. Went over it once with 1000 grit, once with 2000 grit, 2 passes with the #7, and two passes with #10.

Something like $200-300 EACH iirc.

Edit: just did a quick search and saw them from 130-220 a piece (around 250-400 total).
