need to find a headlight lens or way to restore it
Whats up guys? Got an 07 sedan with tech headlights and im on the hunt for a drivers side headlight (really only the lens) OR a way to polish/make the lens as close to new as possible.
Heres what happened... it was a little foggy in the top corner (the most common spot where it starts) and i took 3M headlight restorer to the whole headlight lens (stupid i know i should have just used it on the top corner, the only place that was somewhat foggy).
It basically made the whole lens frosty looking.
Here is a before pic
And here is an after pic.
now my 2 questions are...
Is there a special compound to get rid of the frosty look of my headlight lens?
If i go to a junk yard/find a used headlight for a reasonable price on here or ebay (with or without tech), could i just pop out the lens and put it on to my current headlight?

wet sand, wet sand, and wet sand again! it takes a LOOONG time if you are doing it by hand, but you can get it looking like new again. I suggest getting a kit that lets you use a drill. Add the provided headlight protectant cream afterwards. I just did this on my mom 98 lincoln Mark VIII LSC. her headlights were so fogged you couldn't see the reflectors. When I was done (about an hour of sanding) she thought I had put a new lense on. Takes a lot of patience and a lot of hand cramps! lol

I used it where i shouldnt have and not it looks like sanded plastic. Thats what i mean by frosted look, there is no sun damage or anything it is literally caused by using the kit on a part of the headlight that was ALREADY clear. So im looking for some sort of solution to get out the dull-ness that i caused.
