Continuing Struggle with Headlight!

  In the past, I've posted various options on cleaning my headlights!  Sure they all worked for a little while and then promptly failed.  It has gotten to the point where I really can't responsibly drive at night with one cloudy headlight.  So off I went to the automotive store and the cost is $325 to replace one headlight.

Then I looked into purchasing an aftermarket lens cover, which I could get for under $200, but then I would have to remove the old and install the new.  Have you ever watched a video on doing this?  Holy moly there are so many screws, bolts, caps........there's no way I could do it!

Found myself doing a deep dive on youtube for another option, hours later I found this video from Budget Mechanic:

How to restore your cloudy headlights

AFTER

I only used the Cerakote Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit.  Budget Mechanic suggests using parts of two different products.  

So I'm pleased with the result, seems worth it for $16.88 for the kit!  They say the product lasts for the life of the car (we shall see).  The worst that can happen is that it fails and then I'm back to purchasing a new headlight assembly.
