adrenaline=lifeline · December 15th, 2008, 11:40 AM

How do I keep them clear? The set i installed last year are messing up and i polished them once a month!

Lefty · December 15th, 2008, 11:45 AM

Are they fogging up or getting like little scratches and what not in them?

Seabee · December 15th, 2008, 11:53 AM

did you seal it?

rwboring · December 15th, 2008, 11:55 AM

they are almost impossible... i didnt have a problem with mine... where did you get them from?

Lefty · December 15th, 2008, 12:04 PM

You really need to make sure you seal them correctly or else they're gonna give you a s%#t load of problems...

adrenaline=lifeline · December 15th, 2008, 12:11 PM

They are sealed but it looks like clear coat coming off of them

Mustang RacR94 · December 15th, 2008, 12:23 PM

adrenaline=lifeline · December 15th, 2008, 12:46 PM

njstang · December 15th, 2008, 12:47 PM

are you talking about the black around the blinkers? i know its notorious for it to look liek its peeling or flaking off

adrenaline=lifeline · December 15th, 2008, 12:53 PM

No the clear were the headlight turns

njstang · December 15th, 2008, 12:54 PM

wow i have never had that problem, i would say that maybe it was from extreme heat or something but i see that your in AL not like nevada

Novanutcase · December 15th, 2008, 01:00 PM

Do you have the correct bulbs for it? If you have high intesity bulbs the heat may be affecting your lights.

I have that problem with my stock lights. It looks like clear coat peeling.

weems · December 15th, 2008, 02:36 PM

wet sand them and then polish them out, and then put a good coat of sealer on top of that, then wax them every time you wax your car.

adrenaline=lifeline · December 15th, 2008, 06:26 PM

Y was this moved it was 99-04 lights only?

travis_afx · December 18th, 2008, 08:21 PM

My headlights were doing the exact same thing as yours, looked like "clearcoat" was peeling off. They looked horrible!

Mine now look like glass. I used this kit on her, and i have also used it on many other cars as well and the results are always flawless. I just had to sand enough plastic off to get rid of all the "peeling" plastic.

Here is a good video about it, it is exactly how i do it except i add a coat of Wizards Shine Master as the last step.
