2000 NBS Blue Steel Burban Build

[00'BlueSteel]

So after talking to you guys, like 6mnths ago, and then never actually doing it, I finally did the wet sand and buff to the headlights.

These lights have been on my truck for 4/5 years and looked awful. Now they look new. I still want to swap to chrome housing and PM grille.

I used 2000 grit and then HD Polish and a porter cable polisher.

Came out great. Did you clear them?

Nope, did a little synthetic sealant. I didn’t take them off, opened the hood and taped off the fender. I don’t want to put too much effort into them Since I’m swapping them soon.

What's synthetic sealant? Wiped on something with a cloth?

Does it block UV? That's what kills the lights.

I don’t know the specifics of it’s UV blocking abilities. I’ve been putting it on my taillights and it seems to be working good so far.

Once the weather clears and the holiday passes I’ll be taking the front apart for some color changes and updates. New headlights, grille, fog lights, and need to decide what I’m going to PM.

A few changes, guy I was selling some subwoofers to hit a deer so I also sold him my grille and headlights cause it was quick and easy. My other 1500 grille is primer right now and I’m working on getting a couple quarts of my paint so I can do a bunch of painting once weather is better. Also gathering pieces to build some custom headlights at the same time.

This left me with the HD grille and stock headlights. So I threw them on the other day. Just need a bow tie, anyone got the right part number for it?


JDM Astar switchbacks with AuxBeam F-S3 LEDs in hi and low.

HD grille looks much beefer. That looks like an oem one to much better then the aftermarket one I have where the bowtie isn't set in like that. Sorry no part number I ran a billet one.
