This video demonstrates restoring your headlamps using the 3M headlight restoration kit. This is not a cheesy "wipe on, wipe off" product. Its is sanding and buffing method that works very well! Don't rebuy, repair!! Before and after photo at the end of the video.
Here is the kit that I used - amzn.to/2niM2yc

somehow while watching another video, like this, i started yours in another window. And i actually ended up closing the other video and watching yours. The sound was playing at the same time as the other video i was watching. You win.

Its funny, I had the parts ordered and they showed up only a few days later. They ended up sitting around here for more than 2 months! I got a new job recently and its taking up all my time. Wish I could spend all say in the garage but I gotta pay for all this stuff lol.

If comfortable with sand paper use Rubbing compound at $6 or so a tub. Heavy first then use a light rubbing compound. sponge pads each time make 2 or so passes over each hard-not smashing pressure. After clean heck out of it. when clean use rubbing alcohol to remove remaining dirt/oils. Last step is 2 coats of Plastx yeah that $10 stuff- should be good for several years. Or can just hit with plastx for a year plus. Either way you go about it is going to get messy. 3in sponge pads amazon about $6 ok so is more than "kit" but have plenty as in 30 plus cars.

Conflicting suggestions from others and curious if you've attempted replacing the halogens for LEDs. They do make them but from everyone I've talked too, they short or need to be replaced months down the road.
@Rythecarguy
@Rythecarguy 3 года назад
I did an HID kit for a while. It worked great for as long as I had it. Probably about a year or so. I was not a huge fan of the mess of wires in the engine bay and the color of the lights so I ended going back. Here is the install video if you are interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t16IrTuCKtA.html

Not bad. Pop the grill off. Remove the three obvious 10mm bolts retaining the headlight and then remove three screws on the inner fender to get the fourth and final headlight screw.
@Rythecarguy

I have an 06' Offroad Xterra, getting ready to add a separate trans cooler (and hopefully avert potential catastrophic transmission failure). Did you do this for your Xterra? Recommendations?
@MaximumDIYGarage
@MaximumDIYGarage 2 года назад
Sorry for being late to the party, but he has a manual transmission, so no need to worry about that. Another reason to get one with a manual. I just did and videos will be coming soon on my channel.

Did you end up spraying a uv clear coat paint on the lenses?
@Rythecarguy
@Rythecarguy 7 лет назад
I did not. I hate masking stuff off. I know its a bit lazy but I wanted to do new lenses someday anyway.
@moravamanagement
@moravamanagement 2 года назад
@@Rythecarguy you had everything masked for sanding, just wipe the lens to make sure it's clean and then tape some trash bags. Spray with a good UV clear coat otherwise you'll be sanding every 2 years instead of every 10.

Are those plastic covers on your fog lights?
@Rythecarguy

Josh Jensen no, I don't have fog lights so they are just plastics discs in place of lights. It would be cool if I did though!

I think you need to put a clear coat on the lens.
@Rythecarguy
@Rythecarguy 8 лет назад
Some kits call for it. If you headlight had one of those really strong coatings that you have to sand through then you might want to clear coat it. This headlight is the same plastic throughout.
@johntexan4165
@johntexan4165 7 лет назад
Save yourself some money. You can do the same thing with toothpaste with baking soda, a damp rag and some elbow grease.
@Rythecarguy
@Rythecarguy 7 лет назад
+John “Doe” Patriot I respectfully disagree. I had to sand off layers and layers of plastic to get to a clear plastic. Toothpaste and baking soda are not going strip off multiple millimeter of plastic. If it does then you should never use toothpaste on your teeth.
