Painting headlight housings

Sorry this happened. I read a bunch of articles on how to get your headlights restored when marred by acetone. Unless you have the right tools and chemicals, you will probably make it worse. A decent body shop can restore your headlights. Will have to do some sanding 1k, 2k, 3k and use high quality clear. Good luck bro.

Ya from what I've been reading,that's only a band aid. Gonna see if I can find a wrecker that's local with a headlight.

Has anybody taken out the daytime running light relay? Or folded over a pin on it? I did that on my last vehicle so just the halos came on. Think I'll try pullin it out. See if that does anything.
