    Oops! I overestimated. Those are terrible. Send them to me and I'll put 10 minutes into them!

    I was the second highest bidder on those. I was not willing to pay more than $400 for them. My bad! I tried to polish my headlights..but over did the sand paper process (forgot the "gently" part). So whenever you are ready to get rid off your "old" ones, please let me know!

    Thumbs up

    Guys, please re-read IndianaVX thread on Headlight polishing, and worst case, read my write up on Zen and the art of Headlight Polishing. It does work. It's just a case of making the scratches finer and finer by using less and less abrasive compounds. You can save yourself a bunch of money. But what ever you do, DO NOT throw the old ones away, or throw them at IndianaVX or me. We will refinish them and keep them for when someone really needs a replacement.

    ...by all means. however - if you're lazy, crunched for time, or your time is worth more than the trouble - might wanna give my passenger assy a shot.
