I will try that when it warms up again. I replcaex my dying bulbs with Nokya Arctic Silvers-gonna finish the driver side tomorrow-and did a one-to-one comparision. I am getting some HID like glare from both headlights, especially the Nokya side.

Up close you can see the improvement though, it’s not that crusty yellow. But you can also see where it looks a bit scuffed. The salt doesn’t help.

^he’s right

sealing the fresh polish job with a hard clear (epoxy?) is ideal
