Lotta ways to skin a cat. I sanded mine by hand and sprayed on some clearcoat.

Or #600 -> #800 -> #1000 -> #1500 -> white diamond rubbing compound -> black magic finishing compound if you have the paint surfacing stuff anyway.

I had to do a similar thing to a 2000 ford escort. Took almost an hour just to get one passable. I used a two stage kit from Meguires(?) and a DA 5" buffer.

The e-code lamps with the fog lights look almost identical to the 780 e-code lamps.

I wonder if they are close?

Love the RD quote. Brings back memories of my boys and me watching Late night tv.

Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit had pretty good reviews online and is only around $20 on Amazon.

Finally did this headlight restoration with the Sylvania kit.
Took about 1-1/2 hrs. Results are amazing and the lights look like new.

Time will tell on how well they hold up.
