hell its cheaper to buy aftermarket off of amazon/ebay then buying those stupid buffing packages
bought some a couple years back for an EXPY2005 and they are still going strong....I think they were $24 a piece..free shipping
be honest w/ you they were a bit better quality than the stock
I see people paying $75-100 bucks to have some detail guy to buff their lights
silly...esp if the inside of the plastic is discolored...you are not buffing that out

Yeah, been buffing too - but they are looking like crap - and it is the crazing on the inside of the lenses, what causes that? Just the heat? Don't you think that they could have anticipated that issue? I have so many little scratches and idiot dings that I am getting ready to just let the thing decline...frustrating.

Yep and seal the clear lens to black housing with a bead of black RTV. Then let that dry and go around it 1 more time. I have never had a ebay headlight moisture issue doing this. I am on my 3rd set, sold 1st set when I did my retrofit, then used second set for my retrofit and sold those, now this 3rd set. All have stayed crystal clear and moisture free.

Forgot to mention that I have wet sanded them and clear coated them but they continue to get worse. Ebay cheapos it is. I actually had good luck with my last truck ebay ones for yrs with no issues. My wifes acura is next. I have to take out a mortgage for those headlights. Thanks for all the responses, I appreciate it
