Joey mod failure

[B6JoeS4]

Today I started the Joey mod on one of my headlights. I got he point where I had both pieces separated. I then removed all the old black sealant off my lense with a Dremel which created a lot of dust. I used my compressor to blow all the dust out but I decided to take it a step farther and use some acetone to get all the dust out. This is where the trouble starts. I was not aware ( didnt read the can) that you should not use it on plastics. I used the acetone to clean off the inside of the lense and it left a streaky white haze which I thought I would just remove with some glass cleaner. i then realized that the acetone had burned the plastic. I tried everything to get it off including some intense polishing with meg's plastx but it didnt do anything.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of the haze?

If not, I think I'm just going to buy these: http://store.anchormotorsports.com/euliho.html

i work in the optical industry... they're made from polycarbanate material.. acetone did burn through,, no way to fix unless u fine(sand paper and all that) and machine polish it.. id just buy new ones.

dude you are screwed.

When I did my joey mod, I had a few drops (acetone) from a rag touch the lens and it was done. I had to buy a seperate headlight, and use that lens.

If you got the bread go for the e-codes but make sure they have them in stock. I doubt they do, if not buy some OEM headlights from some one.

you can get that off. I bought this kit from autozone for my girl friends jetta, it came in a silver package and it was a headlight refinishing kit. it came with two differnt peices of sand paper one 800 grit and one was 1000 and you had to sand it down using those. then it came with two chemicals as well that wernt that great to get on your hands. but one was pretty much a rubbing compound and the other was the weirdest thing in the world it was like a glaze almost and you had to spread it evenly and they came out beautiful. it just hardend and they look brand new so im sure you could pull this off pretty easy on the inside of you lense.

Do your city lights work?

Are they HIDs? Do you have a link to a similar pair?

You can fix by sanding it from 800grit to 1500 and then polish with rubbing compound... It a long process but easy!!
