hi i have a 1997 dodge avenger Es and when i bought it, the drivers side light is all sun faded... i know that dodge avengers have had problems with the lights fogging up, but i dont think mine has that problem it appears that its on the outside of the light, when you rub your hands on the light, one is smooth and the one that is faded is rough... is there any solution to get rid of the fading on the light? would it be possible to take a buffer and buff the light to make it clear again?
Thanks Jeremy

 

WETSANDING:

Supplies:
Wet/dry sand paper 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, & 2000. If you can't find them all that’s okay. You can find them at any auto parts store. Get 1 or 2 sheets of each.
3M Rubbing Compound, it can be found at Kragen or any auto parts store in the auto paint section, by the sand paper. If not ask.

Instructions:
Start with the lowest grade sand paper (400, 600, 800....2000). Wet the sand paper before each use in a bucket of warm soapy water. Then start sanding headlight for about 3 to 4 minutes with each grid of sandpaper. Make sure the sand paper stays wet. Keep doing it until smooth...be patient. After done, dry and your lights will be a little hazy/cloudy..don't freak out. This is were the 3M rubbing compound comes in place. Follow the directions on the back of the bottle. Then it will look like new.

 

oh man thanks for the reply i really didnt want to replace the light concidering how expensive they are lol ill probably head up to autozone or advanced auto this weekend to see if they have it.. thanks a lot

 

If all else fails you can find the pair on Ebay for $160/$180

 

yea i saw that, i was kind of interested with the ones on ebay they were a set of 2 aftermarket lights they are called like crystal lights or somthing heres the link tell me what u think
ebay headlights

 

Yes those are OK personally i'd swap the insides of your light into those ...The reflectors are sub standard ...

 

so ur saying thatthe chrome reflectors on the inside of the lightare changeable and it wouldnt be worth buying a new set of lights

 

Buy the new lights but swap the interior of your factory lights into them ....

 

i got a powerball and the Meguiars 10 & 17 for about $40 or so from Napa. takes about a minute and you can do dozens of healdights with it, instead of just having one. do your buddies' headlights and maybe even get a free beer after. just my rec

 

thats an idea i havent heard yet. i'm sick of the sanding. to original poster: the avenger headlights have had clouding problems. that is it.
