drivers side headlight black mod failed.

[coolcatmars]

Hello all I tried doing the black headlight mod during the weekend and sure enough I $uck up the drivers side headlight. I got some goof off in the inside of the lens while it was still open and ruined the plastic lens made it all hazed up and scracthy. So im wondering if anyone here is selling a drivers side headlight please let me know. Thanks

wonder if mothers plastic polish would clear it up

man, that really sucks. Did you not clean it out before you put the headlight assembly back together? I made sure everything was spotless before I put it back together. Sorry to hear that.

try the plastic polish or try and get some of that flitz...I heard toothpaste works as well

[coolcatmars]

Yeah tried Mothers didnt work then I got a dremmel with mothers to try and buff it out and it made it worse.. pretty much its pretty F up'd .

[coolcatmars]

Pretty much what happen I ended up with a little spot of glue on the inside of the lens and figured well it cleaned the outside very well why not use the good off to clean that glue from the inside and man bad mistake!! the plastic turned hazy.

aye, i had the same problem, but the spot where i got it was very minor near where the side markers are and you cant really see it unless you looked closely so i just left it. if its really really bad then i would just buy a new one. good luck.

It will fix I polish headlights all the time. try some megs scratch X rub it in and buff it off with a micro fiber. it will take some time but it will work. unless you smeared it bad with the dremmel and melted it. if thats the case 200/600/1500/2000 grit wet sand then megs scratch X... Good luck

There's really no way to fix plastic once Goof Off has touched it. It melts the plastic, which is why Goof Off is packaged in a metal can. Never use Goof Off on plastic! Goo Gone is ok, but you still have to be careful.

Thanks PB I knew there was no hope for the headlight. Along I go searching for one.

im sorry to hear that but if it makes you feel better. i kinda f*cked up on my headlights. there are paints chips on the side of the HL because when i was putting everything back together the rubber glue nicked part of the paint off. i got a a couple chips on both my HLs. You can see the chrome if you come up close. Think about it this way. When you buy the new HL youll do it perfect and you wont have any imperfections like me =)

oh man that really sucks dude. i'm planning on growing some balls and doing my headlights very soon too, once my eyelids come in.
hope you fix it or find another headlight. good luck
