Somewhere in calgary they do headlight restore for $25 but i can't remember where it was.

Anyone know? I think it was near blackfoot.

Now I'm not saying they do offer this service, but I imagine this is something our sponsor Chatelaine Auto Spa would be able to do.

Wanna borrow my polisher and driveway? Took about 20 minutes to do the headlights and turn signals on the anti-christ :) Almost no skill involved...

Do it yourself... just search for a guide on "wetsanding headlights"

All you need is 600/1000/1500/2000 grit sand paper, plastic polish, and car wash solution.

Took me less than an hour

Do it yourself, just toss them in the oven for a couple minutes

i have done 2 sets, cleaned the inside and outside just throw them in the oven with the rack in the middle at 275 degrees for 3 or 4 minutes. pull them out and pry them apart, polish the lense and seal it up with silicone. then no more condensation and a clear lense

I did the exterior on an Acura last summer, bought a kit from Canuk Tire, $28 I think. Attached the reusable power pad to my drill and was as good as new in five minutes. There are other kits, must all work about the same. Everyone should do this to their old ass headlights, I even did the tail light plastic, looks new as well.

She did a great job on my car, and yes she can do it.

I bough this today from recommendations. Took about 20mins to get it real clear but my front and backlights are like new now.
