im just trying to help all those other kids out there like me. So on my 2000 stang, my headlights got all messed up, like they developed a slightly yellowish layer over the plastic resulting in my bulbs not shining through properly. Looked like this...



I have a friend who is a mechanic at Volvo and he gave me this little kit that looks like this.....



It worked sooooooo well! This is what my headlights look like now....





So basically i dont care if you all buy anything, its just that if you have that problem, look for a kit like that, i had my doubts but the stuff actually worked. Hell if you can find some, steal it haha

 

Sounds like a pretty good kit. I know there was a write up about headlight restoration, but I went the easy route. I got the smoked headlights. Love the look so much better. Thanks for the info. though.

 

yeah no problem,
im going to do the same, just on a tight budget right now

 

flitz does the same thing. available at any AutoZone.

 

ya you can buy stuff at any autoparts store to fix em up, also wetsanding.

 

I just wetsanded and buffed mine today. they are a lot better than they were but sure dont look brand new.

 

wow that turned out really good, ive been trying to fix mine up lately. I just bought the headlight restoration polish and some fine grit paper but its not working at all...any thoughts?

 

My brother tried that a while back and Im sure it will work if your headlights are not severly damaged. It did not work for my brother and he just got another set of used stock headlight cheap on ebay. THe only way to fix this issue is not to let it get that bad by covering up from the sun and or cleaning them with plastic cleaners every few months.

 

I just bought some new ones..

 

Yeah, i bought the same thing basically at autozone. It worked, but not that great so i just bought smoked ones. Better choice.

 

smoked headlights FTW

 

mine looked worse then the ones in the pictures in the beginning of this thread..i wet sanded mine starting with 600? i think and just worked my way up with less an less grit, then buffed them out..and like yours came out mine dont look brand new by far but definitely look wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better then to did, im just gonna buy blackout headlight covers for mine and be happy with that cuz these headlights look just fine at night now
