Hi guys
I will try to polish my headlights - it's the stock ones. Just want to be 100% sure that they are made from plastic. Can anyone confirm this? :-) It's this product I will give a try  http://www.headlight-restoration-kit.com/t...estorer-review/

Could do what I'm going to do, get some 9011 and 9012 HIR bulbs and modify the tabs(same manner as celicalibre mentioned using 9005 for low) to fit our housing. Same wattage, so don't have to worry about melting the harness. Now your low is brighter than high would be, and high is even brighter. Next best thing to HID.

They're usually just for looks. The factory headlight lenses are definitely glass so they shouldn't glaze over like plastic lenses, but that's not to say that they couldn't just be covered in hundreds of small pits. But now that I know it's glass I can start looking for some effective cleanser for glass! :-) |
