Should I buy new headlights?

[CodyC21]

Should I buy new headlights for my frontier? Or do the headlight cleaners actually work? I don't really want to wet sand them, like some cleaners require. I can buy a pair of headlights for $50. Which isn't that much for me

You may spend 50 dollars for new headlamps.. but what knowledge will you have gained? If you restore your headlamps yourself you will not only know how to do it but be able to offer that service to someone else and make money.

Just do it.

There are a lot of repop headlights out there cheap.... Typically you get what you pay for when you buy new ones. Look up what oem ones cost. Restoring your old ones will probably be a bargain compared to factory replacements.

If you clean and seal the headlight it will last longer. If you don't put a sealer over it they will yellow within a year. I have put repos in cars and they yellow within a year. The OEMs are crazy money. When the wife's car got hit I told them no repos they put a repo in I took it back and gave it back to them. I say clean them and learn a new skill!

I say you restore them, plus you get to keep the OEM ones.

Wrong board to take an easy way out... actually the wet sand and polish is easier than you think.

I'd also add you'll need to align the new headlights so they point correctly. Where as your OEM ones are already set to the correct angle.

That would only take a couple minutes and really shouldn't be a deciding factor to the OP.

I agree but it's often overlooked step by people I've had this very conversation with.

if $50 is no problem for OP, add just a little more, get a used Griots 3 inch on the Bay, pad interface for $3, and some sanding discs for cheap, make yours look brand new for less than $100, and still have the machine to use for all sorts of other things.
