97 Caravan Headlight lenses?

[cj99]

Where can I get these online at a good price? I will quote the dealershipship first. Mine are so fogged up I cant polish it out and it is dimming my lighting.

I got a new set on www.ebay.com for $175 . do a quick search and you'll find allot

here's a really cheap way to fix this.

take 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper,
Wet sand the headlights.

Clean with alcohol

Spray them with polyurethane clear spray paint.

It'll last a couple of years before you have to do it over again.

It doesn't look terrible, but not shiny and new, but at least you can SEE again!

Im interested in trying the cheap fix for my van. I found the 800 grit paper and alochol but i went to 3 auto stores and cannot find poliurithane clear coat paint. The best if found was clear acrilic.

Does it make a difference? Where do you get the proper clear spray?

[slantsixness]

acrylic will work, just as well.

You can get polyurethane spraypaint or just a regular quart at any hardware store (not normally in auto parts stores).

I got a quote from a dealer for my '96, and they said they'd have to replace the whole assembly for CAD$400. Of course, that's only about $1.50 U.S. nowadays (hahaha). I'm gonna go aftermarket and maybe get some smoked or tinted lenses instead.

Dont bother with that kit. I bought that before i replace my headlamps. All it is is a cleaning solution and 2000grit compound . Not much help. Also, do a search on ebay it will cost about $20

Bought it. Did No good for me. Maybe will work on very light oxidation. It looks like new lenses.

Have you installed driving or fog lights for $20. It works great and a cheap fix.
