Headlight Buffing Question

[Fish805]

So I got glass zenki lights with the typical yellowing of the lights. My budddy did the sand paper buffing on his subie and it came out great but his lights are plastic. Will this same fix work on glass lights?

you must be mistaken. i dont believe the glass headlights yellow. you must have the typical plastic ones like most everyone else

no you don't. if they're yellowing, they're plastic. do what your friend did and call it a day.

[Fish805]

sigh your right their plastic my buddy came in and said they were glass I reacted to soon

[s14derrick]

the glass were only available in europe and are about 500 bucks to get here.

just buff the ones you have . they will comeout looking good as new

1. buy a can of brake cleen2. grab a rag3. spray small amount of brake cleen on rag4. do ONE OR TWO MAX straight/smooth swipes across the headlamp5.6. profit.

headlights will look new

[Fish805]

updated before and after looks wayyyy better

[Justin35ll]

brake cleen or sanded?

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

brake cleaner... nice im gonna try that. And if anything goes wrong i can blame you, i see no disclaimer lol.

[Fish805]

I did not use break cleaner my buddy used a 3m sanding kit. I also went and got some HIDs after I couldnt help it 6000kone hid on

looks nice. now put some h.i.d.s in the fogs and ur golden. looks nice btw

[Fish805]

yeah im getting those next week and some hella horns

[s14derrick]

your car looks like mine now lol. 6k hids and fogs.

some people will hate on the non projector hids. but i figure if your car is lowered and the lights arent angled up its not a big deal and they still light just fine

[Fish805]

well these lights have a leveler on them so i just parked near a car and leveled them to the top of the guys trunk so i wouldnt blind people

[Xj220gt]

where did you get the HIDs and how much?

[Fish805]

I bought them from a guy on Craigslist for 70 bucks. He lived right around the corner from me and said if i ever had a bulb or ballast prob he would replace it so i went for it. (van nuys, Ca)

[Xj220gt]

any pics of the cut off line?

[Fish805]

i tried but only camera i got is my camera phone and none of the pics came out good.

Looks great! Cleaning them does a world of good doesn't it? I've been trying to figure out if clearcoating the lenses on a Zenki really does any good or not. Been told the yellowing will not come back if I do that, also have been told not to do it. Don't want to F*** up my lights...

Does that guy happen to have any more sets of those that you know of? It is convenient that he lives right around the corner from you!
