headlight restoring / foglight install

Alright so I went ahead and bought a headlight restore kit because they were looking pretty oxidized, hazy and nasty....

what they looked like before...



and here they are after





All in all very happy with the kit, it was the cheaper of the ones available, but it's the Turtle wax kit. And the bumper is a bit off but that's because I was working on these:





Got these fog lights from ebay for 2.50, haha. Apparently they were off a Mercedes? I'm not too sure, it was from some Mercedes wholesaler dealer on there, either way I won the auction with 0 bids with seconds left.

Enjoy!

What kind of fog lights are those? And how are they connected to your car?

I used the Turtle wax kit.

and the fog lights were from some Mercedes whole sale dealer on ebay. I'm unsure whether they are indeed from a Mercedes, or what car they're from. It just happens that they fit perfectly in there and they're colored anthracite so it worked perfectly.

They're connected to my car by these brackets I made for them. It's a strip of metal hidden in between the bumper and the bumper support, extends towards the engine bay and then they're bolted into that. It allows them to be a little farther inset as well which is nice. I dunno if I'm explaining it properly, I'll try and get some pics up.
