Well, we wheeled the headlamp lenses on my 06 and it appears they are too far gone to look new again. So I guess I'll be replacing them. My first choice is HID/ LED combo that DOES NOT include halos. Second choice is stock HID. Anyone know where to find non-HALO LEDs; or where I can get the best deal on stock replacement?
HEADLIGHT HELP!

I can't answer your question, but when I used to restore headlights, I used to use a palm sander with a special rubber cushion/pad that the school I learned from, sells. Depending how bad the headlight was, I'd start out dry sanding, then work my way up to the finest grit paper, then use some 3M plastic polish on an orbital buffer. At this point they came out pretty good. The last step would be to use a special 2 part clear with UV protector. I'd put it on with a lintless cloth. They'd always looked amazing afterwards. I did headlights for years in my business, and I offered a 1 year guarantee on yellowing. Never had a come back.
Hard to tell in the before pic, but they were yellow too.

After:
This was using the process I described.

Not with these gas prices lol.

It would probably cost more to ship them both ways than a new pair of lights would cost, lol

Hmmm... Alabama in summer or Jersey any time of the year? Tough choice there!
Just joking around... For entertainment purposes only.
Not to be taken seriously.
While I haven't been to AL, I am sure it is beautiful (humid but beautiful). Would love to go to shore and do some fishing on the surf and inland back waters.
My uncle lives in Hunterdon County. Not sure why it was never part of PA (just kidding there too), but there are a lot of great places to see in NJ.
@Tonyrodz Please, just having a little fun among friends here...
I don't want any wise guys coming after knee caps! You can call 'em off.

N. AL is very pretty. Many mountains and hollows (hollers). But you are right, it is hot and humid there in summer. We have humidity down here on the MS gulf as well, but not so hot, and we get breezes off the gulf that make for pleasant evenings. I've lived in N. CA (Bay area), S. CA (Thousand Oaks), N. TX (DFW) and now in S. MS (Ocean Springs.) Ranking these in terms of most to least comfortable weather I would say 1.N. CA, 2. S. CA/S. MS(tied) and 4. N. TX.
