Weather permitting..I'm trying this on the weekend:
DIY: Restoring Headlights with New UV coating - MY350Z.COM Forums

Looking forward to see the results after a few months! I'll update you guys w/what I discover. If this works, I wish I would have found out about this sooner.

I think I'll try the clear coat method. Easier then trying to get the bubbles/lines out of the brush method.

I had Tearoffguy put smoke film on mine after refinishing them on my B13 the lenses even had fine cracks all over them.It lasted over 2 years now.
@ga16eats bought them and still rocking them.
My truck has been smoked for 4 years with film.

He(tearoffguy) put some type of clear bra...paint protection film on ShawnB's custom Tsuru/HID setup to protect them.
PM @Tearoffguy and/or PM @ShawnB
