Re: H.I.D. and Headlamp polishing combo how-to LOTS of Pics

Once I had the H.I.D. stuff all situated I went on to polish the headlamps, here is the BG Kit I used.



Basically there are 3 chemicals and 3 different grades of sandpaper included. You start with 400 and work your way up to 2000. After the first step they looked like this...



After the 1000 grit and some cleaning



And finally you apply what I think is some type of varnish, then they are super glossy and nice.



They require a LOT of drying time even though the instructions say aprox 1 hour. I let them sit for about 4, then took the heat gun to them to make sure they were good and cured.

Here are the finished lights installed.







I wouldn't say they are perfect, but then again, they do have 100k on them, and they look a ton better. They look nearly new from just a few feet away.

Here are the H.I.D.s on



...and a lousy shot of the light on the wall at work.



Well, that's my novel, hope some of you find it useful!
