Oxidized Headlight lens - do you polish or replace
Mine are getting to the point where I need to do something. I want to find out from those with experience, is it worth the work to remove and polish them well or just to replace them?

Thank you

polish - your own time and labor, plus $20-100

replace - your own money, plus 15 mins per headlight and <$150...if you have 96-99 model

I also had the oxidized headlight lens, looked at a few kits and then My local car wash has this service for $50.00, did it with an air tool instead of me with a battery drill. Better choice i thought.

Looks great now, good excuse for new headlight bulbs.
