Our amber headlights CAN be de-ambered

[Top_Ramen]

I'm so glad this was bumped back up. I tried this with 3 hours of tedious 60 grit sandpaper work and I'm still on the orange lens. I'll probably roll my sleeves up this weekend and give it a try with a dremel. Great step by step Particlewave!

Hi Charles.
That looks pretty good. How much did you have to take off?
I really don't like to take a Dremel tool to my headlight covers. I've worked quite a bit on Lucite etc. and the margin for error with anything that takes big chunks off at a relatively high speed is really small. It's easy to take a too big chunk out or to melt what you are working on. The trick is always to go slow and make sure your tool doesn't fill up with debris. I would strongly advice anyone who want to try this on their headlight covers to just go at it manually with a lot of #80 sandpaper and a lot of water first. Even using a belt sander can be pretty disastrous because of the heat buildup.
Still, it's good to know that the orange layer is on the top and can be taken off. Btw. can the corner pieces be done in the same way/
