Hazy Headlights

I got a set similar or identical to those and they've been pretty good. The beams don't line up quite as good as factory and I had to do extra silicone sealing to keep the reviewer's complained condensation away, but they certainly look awesome!

 

Man those look great!!! I read the same that people were having condensation issues but a simple bead of silicone seems to fix that issue pretty quick.

Thanks for posting a picture. The ones on Amazon are not that ideal from customers who posted.

 

Thanks! The new headlights and a new grill (chrome paint was peeling on the original) sure made for a great facelift.

 

Here you go. Again they're not perfect but not too shabby for a 2011. I air brushed them last year with two coats of clear and protected the clear coat with glass coat product known as 22PLE

 

Very nice video!!!

 

@TexS4
Whatcha pay for that 22ple?
I google it...looked like $50-100?
How much was left over ?

 

A year or two ago I used the Mothers Nulens kit on my hazy headlights. It only took about ten minutes to make them look as good as new. I don't think its necessary but every now and then when I remember I polish a bit of 303 Aerospace Protectant into the lenses when I am conditioning the Softopper. Even if the Nulens kit needs to be reused every few years its cheap maintenance. No need to spend a fortune on new headlights.

Designed to quickly and safely restore, maintain and protect all types of smooth, shiny plastic and acrylic headlights to crystal clarity. It easily cleans away yellowing and stains, and even buffs out unsightly hairline scratches, smudges, and flaws in a single step. The included PowerPlastic(R) 4Lights(R) Polish restores crystal clarity, leaving a tough protective oxidation inhibiting polymer layer to guard against future degradation from the elements.

Includes:

• PowerBall 4Lights(R) Polishing Tool
• 8 oz. PowerPlastic(R) Polish
• Restoration Discs
• 3" Backing Plate

 

I tried to find my receipt in my emails but can't remember the vendor I purchased it from. It was I believe $89.00. One bottle though is enough to do multiple vehicles plus enough for the headlights. A few drops of this stuff go a long way. You can apply that product to any painted surface. The product lasts 2 full years without any maintenance. By maintenance I mean applying a spray coat to the existing coating( for example: CarPro's Reload http://www.carpro-us.com/daily-deals/carpro-reload-100ml/ ).

I just washed my Tacoma yesterday and the coating is still going strong and I'm right at the 2 year mark. Next spring I'm going to perform minor paint correction, polishing and apply a new glass coat. This time around I'm going to give Dr. Beasley's a try. Their coatings are fantastic; I've used them on client's vehicles and the price is better than 22PLe.

I just want to thank you all for your advice. I'll try one of the kits and will circle back with feedback.
