    I noticed my front clear driving lights are pitted and wanted to know if anyone knows of a way to bring them back to original look.

    I have heard there is some type of clear acrylic / epoxy filler (similar to what is used to fill in windshield chips) that modern body shops are using --- but, I don't really know much about it. I would try calling one of the high-end shops in your area, and see whether they are familiar this. There is a "process" to applying it so, I don't think it is suited for DIY, though.

    I have heard this can be done as well. Try an auto glass company or high end detailer shop.

    Deep pits are hard to remove, but all lighting can be polished to remove light damage. A 3m clear film after would help hide damage.

    The clear covers are perfect, but I need to get it there first of course. I will try a buffing wheel and a kit from Maguiar's and we will see, a good summer project.
    Thanks

    I got the first sample prototype back from the company, but we are still having some small bugs worked out. It's taking longer than I expected, but that's O.K. if I turn out a good product. By the way, love the exhaust! I get a ton of compliments.
