OEM 2gb headlight cover

['97boostinGST]

Are the headlight covers replaceable by an OEM part?
I mean, it would be money saving if the lens could be purchased and replace the shitty old ones.

I have tried about every damn product in the market and they still look like crap.

Those are the eBay ones, I have gone through two pairs already.
The 1st pair the wires melted, luckily they didnt start a fire and the lens was peeling within a year.
The second pair I bought from that same dealer you posted, the mounting points did not line up AT ALL, and the driver side beam was literally on the floor, and them being cheap Chinese, they do not adjust so that was a waste of money.

Wow, mine were perfectly fine; I had no issues with them whatsoever, and fit/finish was perfect. Oh well.

New ones from Mitsu are $330.00 plus shipping for the pair.

Well then on to my personal favorite and not so secret..I use Brasso, and an old sock..Needs to be done at least twice a year..But for a minute work of work, it's worth it..

Could also be a 1g phenomenom as well..As I have never used it on a 2g lens..

Actually..Now that I think about it..I have done more than 1g's with the brasso..I did my dads elcamino, and his oldsmobile..

Also did the reverse lights on the oldsmobile..Looked brand new when I was done..

Isn't Brasso a metal surface polisher?

 

[bryanwheat]

I've never used a kit on them. I just wet sand all the scratches out, buff with rubbing compound, than buff with polishing compound. They come out real nice.

Yes sir it is...I havn't the slightest clue how I figured it out, to use on lights and stuff..Honestly I don't care..But works like magic..

No kidding, how exactly do you use it?

 

[Bud92gsx]

Old sock and elbow grease..About 30 seconds to a minute for each side....Old sock cause it's more durable than paper towel..Tried that and it was horrible...And old sock, so you can throw it away afterwards..

Simple ,easy and dsmers favorite-cheap...

I bet it would work on a foam polishing pad on a drill pretty good.

 

[doubleclutch]

Silvo also does a pretty good job. Rub it on with said sock. Let it dry, buff it off.

Work smarter not harder..I like it..

I never let my brasso dry..Basically manually buff,, whipe off with the clean part of the sock, and your done..

+1 for brasso. the stuff works great.

I've wetsanded for deeper scratches too. 1500-2000grit in steps. Putting a wax on the headlight after you restore it really helps to prevent it fading again so fast.

^ This guy's got the right idea. I do that on any foggy looking headlights and they come out looking brand new. It does take quite a bit of effort but it is certainly well worth the time.

Supposedly, the ones from the site Tim posted are NOT the ones you get off eBay. I hear they are from a different manufacturer. Don't wanna start rumors, but that's what I've heard.

Maybe, I've purchased both sets of headlights from two different vendors and they both arrived in a box with a stamp on it reading.."EAGLE-EYE".
If Tim could chim in and if he remembers if the box he got his headlights was the same as the one I got mine, that would be helpful.

BTW, I just got back from Walmart with a $2.89 bottle of "magic"
If the old sock and cream don't work, I'll just buy a set from where Tim got his.

I got mine from the link I posted earlier, and the box does say "eagle eyes" on them.

Sadly, Brasso was not on my side.

Really...Maybe it's just a 1g thing...That's possible...

Sorry it didn't help..

No worries, they might just be way to scratched up to be restored.

Here's a close up picture of one of the lenses.

And this is the way you get your headlights looking AS GOOD as NEW.

Takes some time, but by far the best results.

The 3M lens restoration kit, comes with sanding pads you can use on a drill. It will make work alot easier using the power tools.

BTW, the 3M kit is sold at walmart, so easy to find.

 

[Bud92gsx]

After the brasso or before?

I have a couple before and after pictures I could throw up if you wanted to see them..

 

[Squirrel82]

800 grit wetsand and 2 coats of clear and no more polishing every other wash.
