New headlight assemblies for '97 OBW?


Recommended Posts

I thought this had been posted before but couldn't find it in a search.

 

Someone posted a link for an online supplier of the headlight assembly at very good prices.

 

One is badly frosted, and the other has very rusty hardware.

 

one of mine is broken.. this is what i can find. i am going to order a set.

There are several posts on fogged headlights, search the board for some good tips.

I noticed that my "fogged" headlights look clearer when I wet them while washing the car, so I tried this on my 05 Legacy figuring I had nothing to lose:

I got some 400 grit wet sandpaper and gently sanded the lenses while running the hose on them. I did it until the lens felt smooth, let them dry (they looked awfuly opaque, almost white after drying) and sprayed a couple of THIN light coats of clear acrylic, letting them dry between coats. They look almost new now.

It worked great and I figure maybe once a year or two to reapply the acrylic coating. Saved a couple of hundred dollars and I can see much better at night now too!
