Headlight restoration

Graemekinghorn · 15th March 2015, 11:17

Just a very quick post here with regard to headlights on the facelift ZT-T. Mine has the Xenon headlights, the lenses on which have started to go a bit clouded in appearance and also have what appears to be incredibly tiny cracks on the surface.
I have tried (rather unsuccessfully) to use a Meguires headlight restoration kit on them which did help a little but didn't really notice much of an improvement.
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace just the lenses or if not can anyone recommend a decent rufurb kit to try ?
I have finally managed to get the car looking somewhere near to how it should do and the headlights being clear would just finish it off nicely!
Many thanks in advance.

Wet sand with progressively finer sheets of wet and dry then use the meguires kit

I did mine just using T-Cut, but I have to say that it did try my patience rather! Next time I'd definitely go for the method suggested by lightning mark above. But it proves that you don't need to buy a fancy kit anyway.
