emblem boy 11/26/19 6:15:18 PM #1:	My car headlights are just horrible and night driving is really bad..I'm pretty sure the issue is the fogginess of my headlights. I've tried one of those restoration kits but it didn't work at all. Is there a point where the headlights can be so bad that those kits don't work and you just have to buy a while new headlight assembly? --- Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er <cite>emblem boy posted [p:930742776] in Can car he...

treewojima 11/26/19 6:22:21 PM #9:	Restoration kits aren't good for much. What you'll wanna do is get some high grit sandpaper and wet sand your headlight housings, then go over it with some rubbing and polishing compound. <cite>treewojima posted [p:930743096] in Can car he...

modena 11/26/19 6:23:56 PM #11:	Some headlight housing lenses can be ridiculously expensive.My Camry needs new due to age and sun damage.My Tundra is fine thankfully because it would be over $200 to replace. P.s. I bought a bulb 2 years ago for $25 for the Camry, but those housings get stupid depending on your make/model. --- I'm surrounded <cite>modena posted [p:930743170] in Can car he...

Or at least for the 15 years I drove it. I mean is it illegal to have glass headlights anymore. --- The Evil Republicans - Est.2004 - WoT [Government Destabilizing Branch] <cite>PrettyBoyFloyd posted [p:930743497] in Can car he...
