Hmmm i'll look into it if it doesn't turn out good after this treatment!

If not what aftermarket headlights are out there besides the not so good looking angel eyes and all chrome stuff!! I heard JDm headlights have inbuilt HID's but are hard and expensive to get a hold of a set?!

I got mine repolished. Turned out just fine. Just remember, aftermarket headlights dont use the same material as OEM and might not last as long. JDM headlights will cost you mate.

Do they do the inside aswel or how do they go about it?
Was it costly?

Some can take it apart for extra cost but need to be reglued and reheated. Personally I wouldn't do this because there is a high chance of leaving moisture in there. I only did outside and it cost 120 for both. And he sealed it with some liquid glass material.

hmm ok ill look into it! I just did a treatment with Turtle brand which has almost sand paper like pads to take off the oxidation with a lubricant so it does nto scratch but I just did it now and it did not make a difference! It started to scratch the headlight so i stopped! This is what makes me think it may be on the inside of the headlight lens?!

I used the brand turtle, they have a headlight restoration kit which includes sand paper like pads and a lubricant, i did the whole system step by step but it started scratching the lens even with the lubricant so im guessing all the oxidation on the lens is off its just the inside of the lens! ??

hmm i just pulled off the cover for where the tweeters are in the corner of the dash..only thing is theres no tweeters? Theres 2 wires that plug into the COVER WTFBBQ?!

The oxidation is on the outside mate. It usually is.

[Flippit]
