Hey Guys, my Driver side headlight is hazing really bad, ive already restored it once (last winter)



what are your experiences with buying new housings? best places to buy, regular prices, should i just try to find a good looking set of used ones? the driver side is the only one i really need.

If you don't coat your newly-polished headlight with a UV protectant, it will yellow again. If it's not a hard coat, it will haze again. A UV protectant hard coat like the pro-feshunuls use will run you a hundred bucks for a tiny tube. Do your lights, do your wife's lights, sell the rest to a friend.

There's no remedy unless you have glass headlights.

I use scratch / swirl remover to polish my headlights like once every few years.

ok, i was more thinking of buying new headlights, but i guess i can just polish them again and use a different Sealer. before i had the Turtle Wax brand Headlight Restore kit, not sure exactly what it had me put on the light at the end, but it did come with a sealer of some sort.
