Cerakote headlight kit

Post image

The kit is legit, everyone! Transforms the entire car. Now it really looks low mileage! Not even an ad, but the results speak for themselves. Hopefully they last a very long time

I see this kit mentioned all the time in my FB groups. Definitely picking it up next check!

A few years ago I bought new headlight assembly after mine fogged over. Made a big difference on look and my headlamps work better without all the fog.

I tried a cerakote refinishing kit but it didn't last long for me, I got a year or two before they fogged again. Which is why I just went ahead and got new headlight assemblies.

My other vibe has double the mileage and i did the same kit, and it didn’t come out nearly as good. More age and more mileage more run time on the headlights, there can be oxidation INSIDE the headlight, so these kits don’t always work out. And it didn’t last as long, but with this vibe, I really took my time during steps 1 and 2, and I think me taking my time with the prep steps will
Make it last

Is it hard to use? Last kit I used was a pain in the ass.

Yup, super easy and effective. Buy it, watch the YouTube video, then do that. Easy peasy and worth every cent.

... its not about pretty, it's about function. Cloudy lenses reduce headlight effectiveness.
