What is the problem with the original ones? If they are hazed, the new products which are out on the market to clear them up works really well. You can pick up a kit to do it yourself from Wally-World for about $20. Just a thought.

or u can wet sand them then buff them out with a rubbing compound and whammmm good as new

[Paulster2]

Good idea on that Some of the kits come with a coating which makes it so it won't haze again, though.

for that u can just spray some clear over the finished product for it to las a bit longer.. i did that to my suburbans headlights and didnt spray no clear.. and it has been like that for close to a year and half ago and it still looks like the day i did them...
