The lens also houses the black shroud so be sure whatever knockoff set you buy also has the same setup or they won't fit the black housing. I bought a broken set of headlights where the mounting tabs were broke but the lenses were straight.

I'm tellin' ya...just polish it up with the 3M kit, buy the precut 3M PPF, put it on, and forget about it forever.

I just got two brand new OEM headlights off amazon prime with fee two day shipping for $420 each. Don't waste your time and money with all these joke products people recommend. They aren't going to restore the factory perfection. At most the products will remove a little haziness for a short time. Go brand new and you won't be chasing the products.

Oh, come on dude! You just spent $840, instead of $80.

Polishing the outer lens and applying 3M PPF will get then lens 98% as clear as new, and then protect it for life.

What you did is perfectly fine, but not practical for the average person to afford.

I would also suggest to you to apply the 3M PPF so you don't have to spend $840 again in the future.

I agree. $840 is a decent chunk of change for the average person just looking to clean up their headlights.

The product I used made my lights look almost brand new, and have a UV protectant coating that is suppose to last 2 years.

If your lense is not cracked, and as long as the scratches are not too terribly deep, then I see no reason to buy a whole new light assembly. Especially when the new light with be susceptible to the same damage/oxidation.

Its actually possible to polish an old lens to better than factory new. So I gotta agree, polish them, then apply the ppf.

Problem solved. Not a lot of work, not a lot of $.

Still cant find this precut ppf for s2000 headlights. little help?

Just restored my headlights. Spent about 30mins each with 600/800/1200/1500/2000 grit and probably an hour with a scratch remover. Spraying with clearcoat over the weekend. Total cost is about $100 and can easily take care of 5-6 sets of lights. Not factory perfect but can be if we used a polisher. I would say doing everything by hand gives about a 90-95% restoration. Probably cannot tell unless you look at it within 1 foot. Probably will be even less noticeable after the clear coat. I can live with that and $800 still in the wallet.

^ Is there a kit specifically for the S2K headlights, or do I get the standard front bumper kit and cut it?

xpel, lamin-x, headlight armor all make kits, I assume they don't use 3M ppf which I was hoping to find.

Edit: found it. invisible mask
