Crazing on Headlights

[Big T]

Can this be rubbed/buffed out? Worth the time, or just toss them?

I saw a set up on Facebook yesterday
Said it was for 88 & 89.

It had 2 individual rectangular glass lensed headlights and fit our grills with minimal modifications.

If I remember right, I had a vehicle that had the same setup.

I wonder why I never thought of going that route.

I’m running HID Xenon bulbs. Can’t use the ribbed lenses.

The housings I’m using lasted 9 years sitting outside and they cost $85 which includes the turn signal housings.

I've cleaned up several sets. A little investment up front but each time it gets successively cheaper.

Even with the crazing?

I have cleaned up a few sets too. I usually go get some 1500,2000,3000 wet dry sand paper and go at it for a bit with some water. then buff them out with the headlight restore kit. get the kit that comes with the buffer that goes on a drill.

That crazing/cracking does not look like it will polish out.

start with some 400 where it's the worst and see if it's just on the surface
