Take a fine piece of sand paper like 240+ grip and use water when sanding and the first coat will come off. Or if your like me you will be too lazy and just order the halo lights.

Fine wet/dry sand paper is at least a 1000 grit to start with, then go to 2000 grit, then 4000 grit and finish with 6000 grit wet/dry. Always use water when sanding and be very gentle.

240 grit wet/dry will eat right through the plastic cover, do not use anything below a 1000 grit wet/dry emory.

what you have is cataracs (spelling) lol... i tryed to sanding stuff exactly like people said, and it messed up my headlight more.... just lettin ya know...

I have to do my headlights and stuff......I dunno if I am gunna. If I send you all a contract saying "If it messes them up, I can legally beat you down" will you sign it? ^_^ I don't wanna ruin the Hawk by something dumb like that...

Not only do you need to finish up with a very very fine grit sandpaper, you need to use some buffing compound, otherwise it will look like shyte. I used some 3M buffing compound that I got at Pepboys (right with the sandpaper)...buff the heck out of the sanded headlight and it'll look good as new In fact, mine turned out nicer than new.

Remember..garbage in, garbage out...spend only an hour on one side and it'll look like an hour's worth of work. Spend 3 hours a side like I did, they'll be smoother than the car itself.

if u look up on ebay there is this loser that sells you instructions to have that removed and he has pictures, they look real nice he charges like 4.50 for it an he will tell you the secret, serch under parts for camaro parts and eventually you will find it

[TylerDurden28]

Like i said again, you could buy Halo's if your a lazy ass like me.

Def wetsand and compound...if you don't want to deal with it, hit a local body shop they should be able to take care of it no problem.

yea..i planed on buying the halos in the summer....i just wanted to know if there was a quick fix or anything like that...INSURANCE has got me on a tight budget

[squirrelishere]

Halo lights look nice on the car. I got mine for like $150 on eBay. Then it'll be worth it to clean the halos. =p

[99KamaroKid]

hopefully if i buy the halos i wont have to clean them up anytime soon
