Any experience with aftermarket headlight assemblies?

3m makes a polishing kit. It is the best one I have used.Otherwise get to sanding. Start with 200 grit, 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1500, 3,000. The best repair is new lenses. Might as well upgrade to some HIDs if you don't already have them. The kit from eBay cost me $80 for 6k lights, ballasts, adapter harness and control board. I wouldn't go any brighter than this unless you want to encourage road rage.. Then use a cream polish with a buffer. Or just get the 3m kitNAPA sells it out here.

 

After you clean the plastic, for a lasting result you would then need to spray the lenses with a UV-resistant clear coat. For example:
Krylon 2444 'Fusion for Plastic' Clear Plastic Paint - 12 oz. Aerosol

 

TYC aftermarket would be my choice.

Look, I know, I can sand, buff and clearcoat the lights on the car. I HATE that type of work. I would rather spend twice as much time swinging a wrench (or is that wench ).

I first put TYC on my father-in-laws Chrysler about 8 years ago. I was so impressed with fit/finish and price that a couple of years later, put them on my Camry. Lights on both cars still look new and I did not see any change in illumination. I have also used their cabin filters. You can find them on the usual web sites....amazon, ebay, etc.

Oh, my regular mechanic was so impressed when he saw them and examined them (after I did the install on the Camry) that he asked what brand they were. Now he offers them as an alternative to his customers and he has sold/installed a fair number and is very happy with them.

TYC -- Genera -- is a respected maker -- they actually are an OEM supplier on a number of different parts to various car companies.

Their products are reasonably priced and seem to be top-notch. As they mention, clients include: Toyota, Ford, International.

 

Go with these! I did & no regrets at. all. Easy! You have to scroll up to see the front headlamp housings because I don't know how to get it to start from the top. Note how the rear lamp housings have the smoked top finish that lines up with the window tint - a nice touch with the aftermarket rear lenses, the originals were not smoked there.
