    Default Holden headlight covers?

    The headlight covers I bought from CP a few years ago are getting pitted and scratched and are diffusing the light...need a new set. I have sent Paul an email, but as a backup does anyone know a vendor that sells these? Thanks! Ray

    Are they too far gone to try and save them with some light grade compound and a buffing wheel? I had a couple scratches on my passenger side and I wet sanded lightly with 1500 and then compound and Adams machine polish. Of course this was done after I masked everything off. Came out nice..hardly noticeable even for me and I know exactly where they are. Just a thought Ray..if I remember those were pricey even from CP.

    You can wet sand them down and then polish them up and then put a clear coat on. Cheaper than new and should last as long or longer than new.

    Here's a link to some clear I found. I assume they sell it by itself as well.

    Thanks guys! Yes, I am on my second set, and they were indeed expensive. I want a new set to put back before they are all gone. I'll give the buffing wheel a try. Thanks so much.

    Update: I sent am email to JHP a few days ago. I found their reply in my junk email file just now. They have them. $200. I'm too old to grab my ankles, but here, stick it in anyway...

    Dear JHP, Piss on this rabbit. If it dies I'll buy them.

    I have the Lamin-X on my headlights and so far no signs of discoloration. Good stuff.
