I got a kit from a company called MOC (they sell car products at my job). The kit includes sandpaper, solution, aplicator, towel and a polishing solution.
The pics do it no justice. The drive side came out great you can see right through it. The passanger side is good but I think I need to do it again.

it will light a little better now,but i can see your chrome inside is more than half gone.

Yea, I am on the look for a new set but I am not lookin to spend $400.

I want to experiment on a set of stock headlights. I want to see what it takes to cut the lenses off with a thin wheel, repair the silvering, and make new lenses out out of clear lexan. I can form the lexan by using a heat gun and attach it with clear epoxy, then cut around the edge of the light and polish the edge to finish. Does anyone have a junk set of lights to do this with?

Been there done that, used the oven, but the expoy that held the lenses in on mine were brutal. I'm in the process of building a mold to make new clear lexan lenses to use with my projector kit. The issue of using a single plate of lexan over the existing edges is that it could have leak issues since the the edge of the clear is not a flat smooth edge(especially when you cut it off with a cut-off wheel) so the best route that I could figure was to completely cut off the lense then create new ones.

But all of this is moot if the backing reflective material is gone.

Point in example:

The Nicsand kit woks the best as far as this type of resto goes. Just water and the scuff pad, thats it, crystal lights in 10 minutes a side. All their stuff works awesome, dirt cheap too.

I used that Nicsand kit on my gen2 and it worked wonders!

Geno, do you carry these products? Anybody got ideas on the resilvering? Mine are really bad. On the idea of a clear lens- anybody done it? Any legal issues on it?
How about driving and fog lights? Got any recommendations? Suggested mounting points. Any ideas on frenching them into the bumper?

Forget about polishing headlights that are burnt up inside. Just buy the new ones for $400 bucks and be done with it!

Rich, I am by nature opposed to giving away money! Besides, if it works, the whole group can benefit. Either me or someone else can start making sets for all of us.
Hot rods require hands-on efforts! If you build it, they will come!

Hmmm I am really surprised one of you geniuses haven't pulled it apart and cut a OEM HID projector into one!

This is what I want to do to my Mustang headlights!

And I shouldn't need to do anything being my 97's that I bought look CRYSTAL!

Im waiting for BMW to allow us to throw away a warranty Xenon headligh looks like I will be waiting for a while. But I want to cut out the projectors in them and use that in the car with a HID kit.
