Default How to make the Headlights clear?

I have a 98 Z28 and was my headlights are not to clear anymore due to weather and it not being garage kept. Is there something I could just put on them and make them clear or do I have to buy completley new headlights? thanx.

I have the same problem. I've tried sanding and polishing with no improvement. Next I will try a kit from eastwood that includes a polish and buffing wheel for an electric drill. It is item number 52267. I'll let you know it works.

I have a 98z.
I had the hazing problem.
I tried buffing.
I tried sanding.
I tried oils.
I tried waxes.
I bought the headlights off a 2002 Camaro.
I am happy.

That is all.

If you are giving them headlights back, theres no big deal... half of those rentals end up wrapped around a tree anyways...
Personaly I'd fork over the 200 bucks just to be able to sleep better at night

I still wont condone stealing.

I wouldnt consider going into a store and putting my TV on the shelf and taking a brand new TV out the door with me and saying to the lady at the door, "ohh, its my TV, I brought it in with me."

I like to call it stealing, no matter to whom you do it.
