Foggy headlight

canook · 01-26-2012, 05:44 PM

Hey all,

So I recently got a headlight replaced in my and the other side looks like shit. Car has 75k....I tried to polish it and while it looks alot better, theres still a massive difference...Any tips/tricks?

get the other one replaced as well...it will never look the same. Thats like asking someone to split the 10 year old carpet in your house down the middle and make the old side look the same...not going to happen, EVER.

+1 happened to my tail lights, ended up getting other side as well, and trust me this is something that everyone can tell... the difference is huge even after polishing.
