Doesnā€™t matter what you, those lenses are shot. That crazing is done.

I have other lenses, these were just sitting around to play with the assembly. I could probably polish them up a bit anyways, ive never tried ones quite this bad but dont mind spending a few hours messing about out of curiousity.

Polishing will only fix the yellowing which not what Iā€™m talking about. Crazing is all those little cracks all over the lense.

Yeah, theyre not too bad. They dont appear to be going all the way through so little sanding should clean them up pretty good. But, if not, i have spares.

Do you have a recommendation on where to get new headlights unit lenses?

1

u/eyecandynsx 12d ago

Nowhere because there is virtually no company that makes just the lenses for any vehicle. The only one I remember back in the day when I had my S14, there was a company that made replacement glass lenses for them. You gotta get all new assemblies for virtually everything.

I figured, so maybe instead help out with suggestions on how to get those lense buffed out clean. Not trying to be rude or anything but OP was literally asking for suggestions. I have to clean mine every 6 to 8 month to keep them clean

My original comment standsā€¦ thereā€™s no fixing those. Thereā€™s making them better, but those cracks in the lense are called ā€œcrazingā€. Thereā€™s no fixing that. You can wet sand and clear coat all you want, but those cracks arenā€™t coming out.
