Thumbs up Headlight Restoration !!!

The 90's sentra has a bad problem, the plastic headlights tend to fog over and yellow severly with age, atleast thats how my headlights were. There are many posts about replacing the whole fixture but I restored mine to brand new condition using Permatex Headlight restoration kit..real cheap about $12 at autozone and it makes the headlights brand new....i just did mine and it worked great so i thought i would share....

I use Meguires PlastX, same problem, same outcome -- it looks great.


Better than buying OEM lights at the dealer for $400 (crude estimate, but probably not far off).

Save all the components from that Permatex kit. I too have found that it works very good, but now that you have taken the original, perhaps even coated, surface of the headlight off, the "wear" will return maybe even a little quicker than it took originally. That kit also works good on CDs/DVDs that have been scratched to the point of being unusable. Use only the highest grade paper you can get away with and put alot of elbow grease into the polish and they will play again.

Plastx is the best thing ever!! I used it on my headlights, and it worked great.

I use it once every two weeks (each time i wash the sentra), even if they are really bad, overtime they should be like just like OEM.

just a quick add i found any car wax will do the job as well, so you don't have to run out and buy anything special if you have some at home
