Thank god I live in Texas! All they do is look to see that they're working. They light, you pass!

That worked? I would have thought they'd need to be as clear as possible. Granted, not polished slick and clear, as the paint would have nothing to bite, but still.....

As soon as the clear touches it, the haze goes completely away. I know it sounds crazy, but it works.
The 1st pic shows how it looked when I was almost done sanding to get all of the UV crap off. It looked worse by the time I was done. The clear was sprayed over what you see. The 2nd pic is the best pic I have right now after spraying clear over the clouded headlight.

Hmmph...who'da thunk it? Now I'm thinking about pulling mine off for a re-sand.

I would try this if I didn't order new headlights already. Besides the whole assembly is pretty worn out.

those plastic mounting tabs do suck. you have to be real carefull with them.especially teh inner one that has to click into place. i dont tighten the top 2 plastic tabs too tight i think thats probally how they got broek on my old lights.
