Default Pics of headlights w/o 3yrs of cleaning

I was looking at pics of my car from when I bought it and recent ones and have been very happy with the lamin-x that I put on them. I put the lamin-x on the headlights and fogs about 3 years ago and they still look brand new. The only thing Ive done is run the car thru the car wash nothing else. Before the lamin-x I was having to polish them every 6 months just so I could see to drive out of the subdivision every morning.

I think once you clean them after 10+ years of not being cleaned, they'll stay pretty clean for a while. It really does improve the look of the car so much and the projectors can be seen a lot better.

Before I used the Lamin-x I was considering buying new headlights but with these I saved a lot of $ plus time and elbow grease. Ive got them on both my GS and SC and I think for the SC I paid $60 which is a whole lot cheaper than new head lights. Lamin-x has them in several colors... Gunsmoke, Tint, Blue, Yellow and clear...

If any of you end up ordering them be sure and put the smaller light covers on first so you can get the hang of it. For the SC its not hard but it takes a little time. Also, I noticed on their website they show they fit 97-01 but my SC is a 94. Im not sure but I dont think they changed the SC headlights but if they did you can probably just call them direct to get the correct ones.

Warning if you decide to put them on a GS call them and get them to send you uncut sheets. The odd shape of the GS headlights makes it really hard to fit and having a little extra sheet to pull on makes it easier. I had to order a second set for mine do to owner error
