Yeah, any cleaner like that will eat the inside the headlight. You are going to need to sand them all the way up to 2000G and then polish the hell out of it.

 

o ok thanks bro. and its a silver 03. trying to put pix up but still new at this lol

 

No prob. If you need help with pix you can email them to me, ashley@nfspmotorsports.com
Mine's an 03 too.

Tim (ttrank) is right, you'll need to go up to 2000. Also make sure when you sand, every time you go up a grit, sand untill you can't see any lines from the previous grit.

 

o ok thanks bro. and its an 03. got a couple pix before it got messed up

 

thanks alot. i decided im just going to get new lens covers. mine were turning yellow anyways and the ones this guy has for sale look brand new. and hes selling them for 25 dollars each just cause the headlight wont remain in place. which is fine i dont need the assembly lol

 

That's cool. For that price I would just do that too.
I wouldn't mind buying the broken housings and your etched lenses off you if they're cheap though. I'm going to bake mine soon and do a hid conversion and I wouldn't mind having some backup housing parts incase I screw up.

 

sounds good im going to buy the assembly tomorrow and as soon as i get my bumper back up im goin to hit u up. ya its a good idea to have backups just in case u get into something like my situation =/

 

wow for 25 i would just buy those and call it a day

 

Do not sand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

the lenses are never going to be the same. There is a protective film on both the inside and outside of the lense to protect from UV rays. Once it is sanded on either side once, it will look ok for a bit, but it will get fogged up and look awful quickly. When sanding it down, you bring the plastic down to it's raw state. No protection, no film, nothing. So you have the UV rays beating down on the lense all day long eating away at the plastic.

My advice. Buy those from your buddy for 25 each and use those lenses. Polish them up (THE OUTSIDE) with plasti-x and you are good to go. Don't even bother with your old lenses. They are toast.

BTW, nice g. We were twins and from NJ minus a few things (19's, nismo kit, and painted mirror bases)

 

ya so basically i got screwed. i bought one headlight online and that 25 dollar one. turns out i bought two driver side so i got stuck wit no passenger side. just ordered one couldnt find any salvage parts...ya ur g is sick i have the 19s but winter comin so im savin those just gon a powder coat my 18s. im selling the g in dec if anyone interested...by then she will b beautiful i already get mad compliments for it.

 

sorry havent been on for awhile. i have a perfect driver side headlight and a extra driver side assembly and a fogged up passenger headlight but works perfect. shoot me an email masi916@hotmail.com

 

Does your buddy have a G? If he doesn't I would tend to thing a headlight that will not stay in place has broken brackets from being stolen.

 

Lol na its a parting out g he had the same one but he got hit from the side

 

use the 3m restoration kit. I used it on my headlights and the change was unreal! You need a high powered drill to do it though, the battery powered ones wont do it. took me like 45min per headlight
