Anyone ever try having a glass shop "polish" out the pitted fog light lens??

this would be interesting....and could you do it to windshield glass as well?

Cheaper just to buy new lens.

you might be correct - just checked with a few local glass shops and they say that with grinding and polishing you end up removing too much material - it gets too thin. That and dimples from deeper pits ends up with uneven surfaces. All the same, it would be good to find out if anyone has done this before!

The 968 fog lights are expensive now, and apparently only available as an entire light assembly and not just the lens alone.

You can also slap scotchgal covers on them. I don't know if it would help much an badly sandblasted lenses, but those you might as well replace anyway. They are not expensive.

One of the guys in Europe did it with some do-it -yourself polish kit for making telescope mirrors. Takes forever and a day to do this by hand.

Being thin at the end would be a concern.

I wonder if you put a hot torch on it if you could smooth things out and retain original optical qualities. Of course the lens better not be glued on to anything and you would probably screw up a bunch of lenses perfecting your skill. A local glass blower might be able to help out, at least they would have such skills to start with.
