DESPITE TRUMP, LIFE GOES ON

 





Two years ago, during a winter nor'easter snowstorm, I had to drive at night from Portland, Maine, 100 miles to my home in the Western Maine mountains.  My headlight lenses were yellow from age.

 

In the dark, with visibility probably no more than fifteen yards, and headlights barely lit the highway, the trip was harrowing.

 

Headlight replacement on an older car is ridiculously expensive, so I decided to clean the lens myself.

 

After searching YouTube, I settled on a product that does not require a power drill for sanding and buffing.





 

I purchased Griot’s Ceramic headlight restorer.    I followed the simple instructions, which were easy even at my age.






 

One year later, the lenses are still clear.




 I don't advertise for any product company.   

 But there is no need for anyone to drive at night with yellow opaque headlights when products on the market can restore headlight lenses.

  1. David used the same kit for mine. Best $32 spent. Still clear even though they are said to only last a year.

  2. Good to know! I can't drive at night anymore at all. Gave it up two years ago. Can only drive in daylight.
