Picture request for lights on black TLs
Does anyone have pictures of the following lights installed on black or dark colored TLs?
First one is blacked-out with the chrome stripe painted black. Second one is all clear.
Third one is blacked out.
These all have clear reflectors mounted in the clear diffusers.

Need an advise. I clear and black out my headlight 5yrs ago. my headlight keeps turning yellow and I have sand it down twice already. what's the best way to fix the problem. I have use the 3m headlight restore which have the some kind of sealant. I also just the jet seal 109, so far I notice that the headlight start turning yellow within 6mons.

I used it when I sanded and buffed my headlights 9 months ago, and they still look good as new. No sign of yellowing.
The reason your headlights turn yellow again after you restore them is because sanding them removes all of the factory UV coating. That "lens protectant" stuff you get in the 3m kits is little more than basic car wax, and hence, it does nothing. Jet Seal is a non-permanent aerospace based polymer designed to prevent metal corrosion, no provide UV protection. Opti-Lens on the other hand, is actually a permanent urethane coating with UV inhibitors.

Excellent...on one hand I feel it looks odd, but then from the front, it really does look like all the new tube style LED's we're seeing on new cars so it modernizes it. Overall, very well done!
Sidenote: Very interested.

I hate you for those AP1 headlights...
I have the light yellow haze in certain lighting, I might send them in one day to have you do your miracle UV treatment on them. Not even sure I'd want to dump the amber.
Fantastic as always...saved your number.
