My R53 spent most of its daytime life in parking garages shielded from the sun until I moved to NC. Parking Garages aren't so common here. Anyone with a first gen (or even second gen) that has kept there car outside knows the damage the sun can do. In particular, the headlights. Mine had become really yellowed and fogged. I considered replacement and even though I can do the labor myself, which involves swapping the bulbs, washer mechanism and wiring, total cost is still something like $1300.00 Pelican Parts: (Cheapest) Drivers - 63-12-7-198-739-BOE - $652.25 Passengers - 63-12-7-198-740-BOE - $652.25 So, I found a tutorial on how to restore them myself. I think it is a better job than the store-bought resto-kits that can be found in the auto shops. Slightly more expensive, but still far less than $1300!!! Anyhow... so far, I've done my driver's side headlight, so I wanted to post results for all to see. The tutorial I used is found on Youtube - It took me about 2 hours and I think the results are quite impressive! Here's a picture:
