Hey Guys, Its been a long long time sence Ive been on, but I was wondering if anyone knows the best place to get new head lights. Theres nothing I can do to save mine, they are totally gone, I wish ther was something i could do to kinda hide how bad they are for a while till I can get new ones. Unless theres somewhere to get a pair for a reasonable price.

and I also need a steering wheel, the leather is comein off mine!!

Thanks for any help

 

I may be able to get you the steering wheel off the car that im parting... I'll let you know.

 

Take mine, I dont need it anymore. I have a momo steering wheel.

 

Hey man, quick heads up... mega meet happening in O-town November 11th! Check out the meets section and join us man...

 

how bad could the lights possiby be

 

Dude, that would be sweet, le me know what I need to do, What color is it anyway?

 

Ill try to do that, depends on if I have Millitary that weekend, but my sister just moved down there for UCF, so it might be a good reason for me to go down there

 

their yellow and dingy, and I tryed to clean them up but someone gave me something to use and it started melting the plastic, but Ill take pics as soon as I can

 

u might be using the wrong stuff.

long time holmes.

O-town baby NOV11 !!

 

wet sand by hand using 1000+ grit sand paper til it looks white (not yellow at all) and then polish using plastic or metal polish, also by hand. what stuff did you put on there that melted the plastic?!

 

I sanded them a few times, but I dont remember the stuff I used, someone handed it to me when I was cleanin them one day, I should have looked at what it was 1st, but after the fact, my headlights were lookin worse so I read the can, and it said "do not use on plastic", so that was kinda when I relized that I needed new headlights

 

throw up a pic or two so we can see if its truly irreparable

 

if you're really desperate and have a particular taste, you could tint them?

 

I have some pics, just not sure how to post them up here

 

go to photobucket.com, make an account, upload pics, then post the last tag under the pic ( [img/] thingy). hope thats not confusing.

thats ugly, *cough* excuse to blackhouse them,get them apart to clean better,it's worth a shot to try to polish.....

 

-k-, theres some pics, the driver side is worse then the pass side, and they look worse in person, anyways, where do u find 1000+ grit sand paper?? Ill try it again

 

I dont want to blackhouse untill u can notice that they are blackhouse, but the lenses are to nasty and police hasnt been helpin

 

i got 600 grit, 2000 grit, and 3m rubbing compound to do mine at autozone. make sure you get sandpaper designed for wet sanding.

 

u ever tried brasso? i found somethin about it somewhere on the net

 

Brasso? not sure what that is

 

Did u start with the 600 them more to the 2000?? or howd u clean them, or where us as bad as mine??

 

definitely run down to autozone and in or around the paint aisle there is sandpaper. most high grit will be for wetsanding, but check anyways to make sure. i suggest you start at 600 grit, do it by hand and take your time. mask off your paint around the lens cuz sandpaper is no friend to paint. keep the area nice and wet while you sand, i usually just leave the hose open on a low setting to keep a flow of water over the lens while i sand. 600 then 1000 and if you want a 1500 or 2000 after that. then use the polishing stuff (the one i like best is actually for polishing metal). btw, dont step up to the next grit sand paper til the lens feels totally smooth when your pass your fingers over it. it will look white and cloudy (but not yellow) cuz the sandpaper is sandpaper afterall, but it should be a kind of uniformly distributed whiteness, with only minor scratches visible. good luck and i hope it works out for you

 

we used brasso in the navy,good sh*t..... never tried on headlights..if all else fails try brasso you got nothing to lose.....

 

Dark grayish...
