Yes you can. Also looks nice if you smooth out the stanley logos etc.

Make em smooth and shainey

certainly can. but you won't get the same effect as the headlights, as they are see through

is visibility much improved after doing this? i srs can't see shit at night, driving blind pretty much but my headlights arent dirty. dont wanna be a kunt HID guy

[dyvios]

i don't think my visibility has improved that much but i haven't tested it yet. the car is only a weekender, so i'll probably will try it out tonight.

you don't have to be a HID guy to get good vision. just get some H4 globes which will brighten your vision a bit.

Pretty good man. Suprised how clena that turned out. Also noting wrong with opening up the glass lens and cleaning the inside if your really fussy ! haha like me

hey guys
I just thought i'd do a quick follow up to the DIY. I did my mates Renault Clio and his lights were worse off than mine.
So here is the before/after.

If you're strapped for cash...

I did a pretty good job on my old EK with toothpaste. Believe it or not it worked very well.

Have heard that avocado also works really well.

+1 for the toothpaste. Worked on my EK.

Lol what the fk! this kit didn't work for me... the sanding block wasn't sanding my headlights, afaik the headlights are plastic

I did the indicators as well, everything looks the same -_-

before

left = before, right = after. cant tell the difference right?

[dyvios]

are your headlight glass or plastic? if they are glass it wont work, as glass wont go yellow/cloudy.

your headlight looked good before. just remember one thing, the less faded your headlights are the less you will notice the difference after restoring

How can you tell if they are glass or plastic?
