Hey all, purchased a set of fog lights off another member. I don't really like how they look so I'm going to buff/polish the pitting out. I also have a set of Hid upgrades on the way for them. I think I'll also wrap the bezels in carbon.

This is after prying the covers off after sitting 10 mins in the oven at 275 degrees

On order,

Norton Powertool Disc kit (has power drill attachment and a few grits)

Gordon Glass Cerium Oxide (Polish)

Felt Velor Polishing pads

DDM Tuning Hid kit

Carbon wrap

I should be receiving the means to sand and buff everything Friday. I'll have an update this weekend.

subbed for updates.

I've seen several people try to buff out glass, but with varying results (yours truly included!)

After some time with a sanding wheel, still need to get the deeper chips out.

Waiting for my X-acto knife from amazon to finish up the first fog bezel
