Headlight Restoration Instructions

Model: Hyundai Accent MK 1, LC - Years 1999-2005
Part: Headlight

It is quite common for front headlights to become cloudy due to exposure to sunlight, weather conditions, and often the corrosive action of some car wash detergents. There are specific kits available that allow you to restore the shine of the headlights through a sequence of sanding and polishing. The operation can also be performed with the headlight installed, but it can also be removed. Start by thoroughly cleaning the surface of the headlight, then sand the surface wet until it becomes uniformly dull. Finally, polish with the appropriate paste until the surface shines.
