Contacted JNC over two months ago about the film peeling on both my headlights. He said he was going to send me something to fix it. Never got anything and the headlights look like shit now. Also, both headlights STILL(been almost a year) fog up inside at night.

Dude, way to paint me a jerk off line and a nice guy here on AZ .

As far as I can remember you stated you'll install the 3M ventureshield kit on the headlights yourself?

I usually clean headlights up and apply the UV protective sealant on them, which depending on usage/weather/wear can last as long as a few years or even less depending on how severe the wear is, your factory clear coat is still in tact underneath.

Per our text conversation, I'd just buff of what ever is left of the sealant I applied and install the 3M ventureshield on it. I try to make the headlights as good as new when they are shipped to the customer hence the sealant is applied after lightly buffing the headlights. I could just send them off to the new customer in the same condition as I get them from the previous customer but being that the 3G TL is aging now, e.g an 04 TL is almost 8 years old, there will be wear and tear on the headlights.

Since I can not control as to how badly the lights will be worn I have decided to polish them and bring them all to an even condition before I ship them off to the customer.

As far as sending you what I had offered, I guess I walked away from our conversation thinking that you were going to do the 3M install yourself rather then taking me up on my offer of sending you the sealant that I apply

If you still want me to ship you some of the sealant then text me your address and sealant will go out on Monday.

Now about the fogging. I do not recall you mentioning any thing about them if that has been an issue over the past year.

I explicitly state with every set of headlight that I send out that due to weather fluctuations you might see hazing on the inside every now and then, this is not an indication of failed seal or a leak in the headlights.

If you live an area with high humidity levels then you might come across this situation more often then someone who lives in an arid area.

I'll send over a set of new desiccants along with the sealant if you are interested. Install them on the inside of the headlights and they will absorb the humidity from within the headlights that is showing up as haze every now and then that you mention.

Again, I stand behind my work, there is a reason why I am still here backing my work up since 06. I'd hate to have a customer not be completely satisfied with my work. You have my number, text or call me and we'll sort this out.

No, you're not a jerk man and i apologize if i made it seem like that.

Anyway, i just ordered some 3M film

As far as the fogging is concerned i'll check for leaks when i install the film.

Just wanted to say that 3 years ago i was one of the first sets of headlights JnC did for the 4G TL and i believe the 2nd set he did for the tail lights. The head lights have been impeccable no issues what so ever, i did have one issue with one tail light and i shipped it out for him to fix and had it back the next day. A great vendor, i WILL use him to do my lights on all my future cars!

JNC I have some headlights on my TL that are "yellowing". I have tried polishing them out but the yellow is in the plastic not on the surface. Since you are "the headlight guy" I figured I'd ask you what you think I can do to get rid of this yellowness. Or will I need to buy new lenses? If so where can i buy some that wont "yellow"?

Just to make it clear, JNC did nothing to my lights as of yet and I think his work is solid. I am asking for his help to fix my headlights and not blaming him in any way for any damage to my headlights.

Hey, those headlights look great! What did you have JnC do to them? I'm thinking I'd like to do something similar with my WDP.

Some headlight lenses get yellow from deep within, that you cant fix as much as you try as what ever work you do it would be on the surface. Usually acura headlights are pretty good at only getting yellow on the surface rather than deep within.

I would recommend resurfacing the lenses and then apply xpel protection kit on the lenses.

Yup, he wanted all of it painted black but I persuaded him to leave the reflector behind the diffusers partially chrome so that he can get some light out of the reflector. Doing that will get you decent light output from the diffusers where as if I was to paint the reflectors completely black then that would just kill the light output from the parking light/turn signal.

O_O Nate, loving the contrast between the amber diffusers and the yellow fogs

Very OEMish.
