Reply With QuoteJeff, thanks for the tip. I did a search and it is SEM chip guard (not SIM). Couldn't find any locally so I just ordered on-line.

are your headlights crappi? I even did the 5005/5006 swap deal, still not good lighting. Mine are so sandblasted I wanted to buy new ones to replace them then the idea of just replacing the lenses came about.
After I remembered the old Winfred trick! (who is Winfred?) I used this on the foglights that came from Germany, didnt want rocks to bust them. After spraying they became clear, IE: no sandblasting.
Get a can of SEM chip guard clear, #39803 I was going to tape the things off and I realized, the car isnt worth the tape to I shot a coat on em...WOW they are clear as glass (imagine!). 30 seconds and 5 bux of clear paint and I can fix about 100 cars worth of headlights and they shouldnt chip more.
the SEM chipgard will hopefully prevent further sandblasting but who cares...I can respray and fill them chips.
Instead of staring at them cloudy lookin things every few minutes (We smoke in the garage instead of the house) and wanting to spend a ton of money or tedious work it's done.
Hope this saves some of you some pain.

Ha! Help arrives just when I need it again!!! My 635's headlights suffer this same problem and need just this solution. It's no wonder I hardly have to post my questions.

I think i'll give this a try on my previa but first i'll compound them out
to get them as clear as possible then coat with the sem to see if it will last longer. Thanks.

Gotta try this...mine are frosted. One fog is new, can't be going around looking cock-eyed now, can we?

Mine arent sandblasted or foggy, they are just dim. Maybe we need HIDs.

the SEMs will probably stick better if you dont compound em, you cant see any chips at all with them painted. They seriously look like brand new lenses.

Now all that it needs to do is clean the inside of the lenses and reflector at the same time
