HEADLIGHT FROSTING

Dr Pepper@iwvisp.com 11 March 2005 19:04:21
 Hi, folks, , , , , , ,

The headlights on my 1995 Voyager have frosted over. I know thats a
common problem with cars from the 80's and 90's.
Is there any way this can be fixed short of spending a fortune for new
headlights?

Thanx

Ron C.

You can try to polish them with a good grade of car polish (I've had good
results with blue-label TR3-brand car polish). Others have had results
with toothpaste. If they're badly enough deteriorated, you will need new
headlamp assemblies.

Sometimes wet-sanding with 600, then 1200 grit, THEN polishing with
rubbing compound or rouge (polishing compound for Plexi) does the job
- at least short term
The big problem is the polymer they use for the lens does not stand up
well to ultraviolet and ozone. Once polished you need to protect the
lens.
Some say armour-all works. Or Son-Of-A Gun, others swear by automotive
polish, and I know some use "future" Acrylic floor polish.

Eventually, the job needs to be done again

 Hooray for cheap-and-nasty Taiwanese copycats that'll fail even sooner
than the originals...

Well I might agree except the originals probably came from Taiwan or some
such place as well.

Nope, the originals came from Wagner in the USA. They weren't *great*, to
be sure, but...!

With all due respect, Dan'l, can anything be much worse than the crap
OEM headlamps in question??? The "Taiwanese copycats" may VERY WELL be
BETTER than original (I've seen it quite often in other products)

 $30 for the OP's 95 Voyager, but he may also have to spring for the
housings at $47 ea.
