my 2007 coupe headlights are hazed like no other and restoration does it no good because it comes back in a week. I'm willing to pay for a new OEM set of headlights for my car but where can I buy them?

 

just take it to a body shop and have them clear coat it man. you dont need to buy new ones. they will haze it up with sandpaper so the clear will adhere better then buff it clean. only like 100$ depending on where you take it but take it to an auto body shop where they have automotive clearcoat

 

Thank you for your recommendation. I'll probably go ahead and do that then. I didn't know that method because I get my headlights restore from a car wash and they don't do any of that sandpaper or clearcoat that you mentioned. They only buff it out.

 

yeah or you can have them clearcoated after buffing them but when i took it to my auto body shop they said it is best to rough them up with sandpaper so the clear adheres better. but yeah i would definitely look into that first.

 

def don't give up on them
Plenty of places that can get them looking new again
Cake is right too. Get them cleared afterwards
Save yourself a good $4-500 just restoring them

 

Look up Chris Fix on YouTube. Did a good video on that method shows step by step!

 

Yeah all of those methods restore the outside pretty well, but the only way to truly fix it is by replacing the lens . eBay has some coupe headlights that you can swap the lenses on.

 

Thanks for the reply guys.

Question about these headlights here: http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/200..._assembly.html

They seem to be made by action crash parts or whatever. So I assume they aren't even OEM but looks just like OEM. Are these even legit?

 

yeah those are aftermarket. they will work fine but at 550 for one side id try the clearcoating route first before you drop 1100$ on new lights

 

Not at all. Those are for the sedan. There is no way they will fit your coupe.

Ageeed, but a new lens is $280 for a pair (eBay lens swap)

 

lol i made that same mistake. scroll down in the site. it shows 06 style coupe projectors as the second listing as 550$ each side.

though i did buy new lights for lenses i have a feeling if i took it to the shop at the beginning they could have restored them without needing new ones

 

I went ham on the old ones of mine, but the deep rooted spider cracks and inside scratches wouldn't come out.

 

WE have aftermarket ones that won't run you as much as the OEM if you are interested
