Is that the one with 3 different sandpaper grits and a bottle of polish? If it is, I've used it and it worked for improving the light pattern and intensity but was nowhere near what new achieved... Not that USDOT spec headlamps are worth a darn anyway.

I did it myself a while back on our old Grand Caravan and posted the results... But for some reason the link to the post (from another post) won't work... Purged database maybe? For the mods to reference: http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showf...&Number=455654&Forum=f94

I'm curious to see if it does anything for you for the glass, the replacement headlight I had to put on my truck is pitted and dull looking, I thought that stuff was only for plastic lens, but it'd be cool if it worked

The OT post are purged every 2 years (originally it was set to 1 yr.). That said your aforementioned post is gone. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'm curious to see if it does anything for you for the glass, the replacement headlight I had to put on my truck is pitted and dull looking, I thought that stuff was only for plastic lens, but it'd be cool if it worked Didn't realize this was for plastic lenses only. Well I'm pretty sure there have to be similar solutions for glass lenses.

I've tried two different types now...names escape me but one came on little foam pads to attach to a drill..you pretty much wetsanded the headlights. The other one came in a foil pack and it was a wipe on. Both were tremendous wastes of time and money. I tried them on both the Toyota and Hyundai. I remember I got stung by a bee trying the wipes, so I was that much more miffed at the whole experience. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
