This morning I decided to try out a new product out by 3M called the Headlight Lens Restoration System. You see, Holly's poor little Jetta has been rather neglected lately. And here in South Florida, we're rather close to that big bright ball in the sky and it can do a lot of damage to a vehicle. The headlights on older cars down here tend to get VERY oxidized, cloudy and yellow. Not only does this look horrible and make your car look like it belongs in a junk yard, but your lights essentially stop being functional (not that we really need them to see anything when your MILES away from any two lane country road that doesn't have hundreds of street lights). But none the less, Holly's lights were very worse for wear. So a quick trip to 3 autopart stores and I finally found it in stock at Autozone! A quick $25 later I was back home and having my hand at restoration. Its pretty slick actually, the kit comes with all the sand paper grits you'll need, foam pads, cleaner/polishing compound etc. All you do is supply the electric drill.
I also got a little creative and rewired her headlights to get rid of those STUPID daytime running lights! Turns out that you can simply swap two wires and change some fuses and tada, now the DTRL's are her parking lights!
For less than an hours work this is what you get!
BEFORE and AFTER (The results were so noticeable that HOLLY even saw a difference! -between you and me, that is saying something!) Love you babe!
