Hi Everyone,

Our cars are getting older and my lights were giving away the age of the car. So, here is what I did. Worked great! Used the kit to sand and buff with a drill.





Sorry it was not the same headlight but both sides were in horrible condition and both side turned out great. Embarrassed that they looked that bad for so long!

Wow looks so much better!
Just had mine redone by my buddies shop when they were touching up some other things. Ended up making the car look so much better.

I was always skeptical about if restoring worked. All those as seen on TV ads! Good to know that body shops will do also. The kit I used retailed for $30 but I got it for $15. But definitely would have paid full retail. Thanks sick430!

Yeah, I actually bought a kit online. But my buddy ended up doing it for me. Wish I had before and after. Mine were really bad.

your car is one of my favorite 209's.

Yeah it works quite well. Make sure you seal the headlights or apply the plastic protector film thing or you'll be in the same situation very quickly.

Thanks - this forum is has a number of nice rides that have helped me. I dig both the 208 and 209s. I wish the CLK line continued as neither of the E coupe or C coupe W204 did that much for me. But the W205 C63s sure does! I am hoping that is my next car but we will see in time.

The 05 was the best of the W209 55 from what I read in the forums.

I have a friend who owns a car lot and they are now clear coating the lenses. On my to do list as well.

Cheers
