I have one question regarding to your instruction. After sanding the headlight unit with 1000 sandpaper (dry or wet), you used "scotch scrubby pad, a little elbow grease and rinsed...." to finish off the sanding. Which side of the scotch scrubby pad did you use - sponge (yellow) or the green side ? Also, elbow grease, what is that ??
Thanks,

lol.. scotch scrubby pad is usually a plastic abrasive, the kind you see on the back side of your kitchen sponge. It would be the green side, the side which would require "elbow grease" which is you putting in some effort with your arm by moving it back and forth at the elbow
