    What do you guys use to fix your fogged headlights? Anyone have newer headlights for a 2004 Grand Prix?

    The cheap fix is to sand them down starting with whatever to remove any deep scratches and working your way up to either 1500 or 2000 grit then laying some Duplicolor clear over them. That seems to remove the hazing and stuff from the outside of the lens.

    It's a brand of paint. I think there are better clears out there tho. I think Drunkie did a writeup on redoing them. Sandint and I think he put polyurethane on them.

    a orbital buff will take the haze off. i used a porter cable buffer with liquid compound, they cleared up nice.

    they were hazed up more then this pic shows.



    after buffing.
