Thank you!��

I traded a random local e39 driver for the OEM ones, basically I confronted the owner and told him I like his amber corners and want his lights, they were so yellow you couldn't even see the inside of the headlight, so naturally he was more than happy to trade for my new looking DEPO's...it was a win-win for the both of us because with some detailed polishing, I knew i could make the OEM's new again, and I did. And he wins too because now his e39 looks way better than it did and he can see at night...I took out my tsx projectors before the trade and swapped in sme generic ebay halogen projectors I had laying around..the retrofit will be happening on the OEM's soon as I get the chance

thats a good come up! im in the current stage of trying to figure out a retrofit to pre facelift housings i love the sold amber look.

The before and after is staggering..to think that every badly oxidized headlight lense out there can be sanded down and brought new again..so fresh and perfectly clear, a rainbow is seen in the lense
Before..

And after..




Steps include sanding with 500 grit to remove Pitts and yellow oxidated layer, followed by 800, 1000, 2000, 3000, polishing compound and foam disk, and finally carnauba wax and a microfiber towel.
