Lightbulb revitalise your bugeye headlights

while cleaning my car this weekend i noticed that the headlights were getting a bit milky - plastic lenses after while go white.

not a problem as many years ago when i was doing my engineering apprenticeship an old boy showed me how to get light scratches out of plastic safety glasses.

T-Cut!!

i used the mettalic version not so rough, went all over the headlights in small circular motions and buffed it off and now the headlights look good as new

Getting them ready for HIDs

It is worth giving them a good polish once in a while.

i've never seen them, but i would imagine the smoke is throughout the plastic and not just a surface coating so it sohould work.

try a little bit in a corner just to be on the safe side though
