Default Got 1 headlight.

Found a set at junkyard. Not a great price. $30 each. I only got 1 ha. Yard has another sale Labor Day so I might get 2nd.
its $55 online. And free delivery. Not much of a deal.
our yard keeps raising prices.

If the other one is off the same car and looks that nice, I'd go grab it before someone else does and eat the bad deal

I have to agree with derf. Sometimes, you snooze, you looze! LOL

You can make that bad one look like new with a little rubbing compound and elbow grease.

I've had good luck buffing them out. Lasts a long time.

Sneaky bastard.

I always hide things in different old vehicles

-----------
Do you buff by hand or with a buffer?
What do you use as the "polish/abrasive" ?
Do you clear coat afterwards? (Never tried)

Please, do share!

I put a set of nice used headlights in my equinox this summer. They were both way off. Manufacturing tolerances I suppose.
