Super old bump - Hiep what did you use to re-clear the lens, a simple clear coat in a can job?

Replacing my amber diffusers with the hellajdmyo ones tomorrow and need to redo the passenger lens

Holy old post! If you are referring to the exterior side of the lens (not the interior housing), I have never recleared them before. What I have done in the past with a good level of success is used the headlight restoration kits available (the ones that come with a buffer wheel that you can attach to a power drill). I have been able to remove most/all discoloration, swirls, rock chips etc; deep gouges, not so much. It is actually on my to do list to tackle this off season. If we could find a place with ample garage space it would be great to put together a detail day like we have in years past. I would be happy to spearhead the headlight restoration side. Not sure what you have going on tomorrow, I will be helping Anthony wire up his motor and a couple others might meet us for lunch if you are available, text me for more info
