As far as the smoking up or general wearing out of the 87-93 headlights, what's the normal procedure for these? replacement? repair? is there an aftermarket source that doesn't have this problem?
I have 89 LX convertible that needs quite a bit of work as far as I can tell, but then I'm fairly new to mechanical work.

You can get some 1000 grit sand paper, wet sand them, then spray them with some clear coat from a can. It will make them look as good as new. If it doesn't you can go to http://cjponyparts.com and get some new ones. That is were I got mine for $110 for all 6 up front.

there is a headlight polish that you can get. i think 50resto has it

Cheapest way to do it. Is get some brake fluid. It sounds dumb I know but it works. Just get a clean shop rag, put some brake brake cleaner on the rag and rub on. You have to use some force but it will help.

What about drilling out a hole at the bottom of the headlights for drainage is that recommended or no?

I did this on my 2500 HD since the lights went out all the time...it works.

Also, what's up with rubbing brake fluid on the headlights???

That's pretty f'n ghetto my friend.......I'll go try it now.

Thanks,

at autozone i bought this headlight cleaner that you put on a drill

and wet the pad, and then use it on the lights..worked pretty damn good

and since then when i wash my car, i wax the headlights and they look nearly new
