they look nice.

mine had that weird internal cracking. I think they call crazing. I don't see any of that on yours. seems legit

yep right up until my dumb ass touched the left one where the speck is thinking it was a dust bunny and smeared the clearcoat, so I am going to have to have that one done again
I failed natural selection on that one, lol.

Do you know what they did to restore them? Some people dry sanding, others like to wet sand--among other things.

pretty sure they use the ceracote stuff, I just had a brain fart and touched what looked like a fuzz ball but i believe it is probably a tiny knick from a rock or something, proceeded to fingerpaint the clear coat a bit, got home and after it dried up I tried to polish out my smudge but I am just rubbing the clear coat off. I'll take it back in the morning no biggie, lesson learned

looks good but those worm clamps will start to leak in about 2-3 years at the most, maybe sooner facing down like that
these adapters are the sizes needed if you even wanted to make it leak proof
need 2 of each size for plug-n-play with the trucool

Cool, thanks. Yeah I don't like the worm clamps so I'll be switching them over

Had no idea Walmart did headlight restoration for $26 out the door, until last night. Came out pretty good I guess

The Cerakote was only $18 and took me way less time than driving to Walmart and having them do it. Not that I trust those idiots. Good to know though, in case I ever get to where I can’t do things myself. Oh wait- that would mean I’m dead so never mind!

Edit: I remembered reading in the instructions that you can’t do two coats- once it’s applied it’s a done deal and adding another coat will make it hazy. If they used Cerakote, you’re stuck. They should have warned you- instructions said don’t drive the vehicle or touch them for at least 2 hours. Those are some real expensive headlights, aren’t they? Man I hope they look good still. Here’s their Q&A on it:

“We do not recommend trying to touch-up areas, as this product quickly becomes chemically resistant once dry. This product is a one-coat application; more than one coat will have a cloudy appearance.”

I used the Cerakote kit. You just wipe the oxidation off with one set of wipes, then wet sand with 2000 and 3000 and then wipe the clear coat on with another set of wipes. Took me about 30 minutes total for both and they look like new, from a terrible haze I couldn’t even see through. I highly recommend it.
