I had a busy weekend and I only had a few hours on Sunday afternoon to work on the lights. I used the Sylvania restoration kit on the good working headlight. It did a great job taking off the oxidation on the outside of the lens.

Before:




After:





I think that I may do it again in a year or two. I thought I had sanded very thoroughly, but I think there were some areas where I did not remove all of the factory coating on the headlight and I can see some imperfections in those areas. It is particularly noticeable near the turn signal. However, from about 5 feet it looks like new.

I plan to bake and open the broken headlights on Saturday. I want to set aside about 4 hours of time so I'm not rushed. If it takes less time, that's fine but I plan to be methodical and take a lot of pictures.
