The headlights on my Honda Civic where very cloudy. My headlights worked, but the light was very diffused at night. I was considering buying new headlight lenses.
But then one day when I was getting new tires installed, I saw a product at the tire store that would restore the headlights, and get rid of the fog. I asked them about it, and the guy told me they don’t sell it, but offer the service to do it. I wasn’t interested in paying for the service.
When I got home, I looked online, and found there were a bunch of products for headlight restoration. And some people swore by simply using toothpaste. But then other places said the toothpaste would work only temporarily, because it didn’t seal the plastic or something.
I went to the local Advance Auto Parts, and found Crystal View Headlight Restorer. It wasn’t cheap, but it was cheaper than new lenses. I bought it and decided to try it.
It takes a while to complete all the steps. But basically, you are using a series of polishing stuff and sandpapers, to polish the lenses. It’s not hard, but it does take some time. You want to make sure you read the instructions, and follow them carefully. Take your time!
The results were great. One lens could have been a little bit better, but that was my fault. I should have spent a little more time polishing it I guess. But the headlights work great now. I have much more visibility for night driving.
I found a great video on YouTube showing how to use Crytsal View Headlight Restorer. Here it is:
