Default Civic Headlights

Hey everyone. The plastic on my headlights seems to have taken alot of sun damage and it makes my light visibility foggy. Where can I get replacement plastic headlights (covers only) without having to buy new headlights?

you might have to order them straight from your Honda dealer. Try removing them and cleaning underneath first because they might have just leaked and need a cleaning. The only problem i can see with this is getting them off and not damaging the base. Also, you'll have to seal the new ones with silicone so they don't leak.

Most headlights can be brought back to like new clarity
by just useing a buffer on them.
I do it all the time.

I had the same problem with the Civic I just got. Buffing cleared up the stuff a little but but not enough so I wet sanded them. They came out pretty good.

Dig My Honda - DIY: Wet Sanding Your Head Lights.

This article was pretty helpful but i didn't feel it was complete so I just googled wetsanding headlights.

Hopefully it gives you at least some kind of start.
