Would this be good for restoring headlights? There are 3" backing plates that will fit it.

Yes. Pretty amazing machine. We use 11 of these and they are a very good choice and they last forever. We use foam and foamed wool pads to buff everything from paint on cars and jets, Plastics and bare metals.

I suppose it would be as it doesn't take much power to do so; you can restore headlights by hand or electric drill pretty easy too (the polish does most of the work). If the car is of value I personally would remove and work on the headlamp off the vehicle - removing it will minimize risk and give you a better quality/more uniform resurfacing. If you are removing the headlamp the pad size isn't really an issue anymore either. The Meguiars Headlight Restoration product (which should be available locally to most) comes with a drill chuck/buffing wheel insert & works extremely well for consumer level uses.

I don't believe they have a 3" backing plate, only options are a 5 1/2" and 4 3/8".

The Flex is not ideal for headlights, but I use it at times, As for backing plates I have never looked for anything in 3 inch. I already have two DAs with 3 inch.

For that type of material, i'm not sure, but it does wonders on car headlights. I tried to use it on a few scratches on my laptop, but it just shined it instead. Sorry I couldn't be of much help, but good luck.

It fits wherever a 7" headlight fits, including older cars. Some states may frown on that use, but it fits and works!

I guess you could use them for all three, depending on what your cars bulb sizes are for those locations. I used em for fog lights but they aren't that bright

Should be more than enough. I guess it all depends on the size of each light though. I was able to do 4 headlights and had enough left over to do at least one more and probably two. I did both lights on a Toyota Tundra and both on a Dodge Stratus. I would call the Tundra lights medium large in size and the Stratus medium sized. I had plenty of buffing compound and tape. I did use two layers of tape but I was able to raise the hood so I didn't have to use any tape on the hood. Tape and buffing compound is relatively cheap at the parts store if you need to get more. But as always YMMV depending on how you use it.Hope that helps. Should be more than enough. I guess it all depends on the size of each light though.

Using these as back up lights I wouldn't reccmended it. But it's perfect for your license plate light. I don't think it would be as bright as a backup light because it will reflect. Hope it helps

I did take a look at the Nitecore flashlight. It looks like there is a range of flashlight diameters that this headband will clip to. If your headlight takes tandem AA's then I'd be surprised if it didn't fit this flashlight somewhere. The fit is quite secure, so you should be able to fit it in the middle, near the ends, or anywhere else along the flashlight shaft without a problem.

I'm not sure about glasses. I used it for an acrylic fish tank. But what I do know is, if the scratches are deep it required sanding with sandpaper first. If sanding is required then you want to work up to a really fine grit paper (minimum of 2000 grit). if you think the lenses are plastic then it should work. Or if the glasses are ruined it's a fairly cheap way to try to save them. I've been really impressed with the product and on plastic it does work well just not for deep scratches like they say stage 3 is for. I've also used it to restore headlights and worked great!

Sure, use 3M Velcro, either the fuzzy regular kind or the industrial plastic knobby type. As long as your surface is flat and smooth it should work. Wipe off the light base with isopropyl alcohol (medical type) to remove any mold release that may be on it from mfg process as the adhesive will not stick well to that. Best Bob

I don't think it would work, cuz rubbing compound is designed for paint scratch. Search for NOVUS 2 Plastic Fine Scratch Remover, it works great for polishing headlights. I can vouch for that.

I would say yes. They provide hardware to accommodate mounting for different circumferences. Unless the tubing was really large. As far as lighting it certainly make you visible. I use along with a headlight, which you could get one of those too, but the blinky light is a a good idea. I might give one to my mother-in-law who uses a walker. Good luck.

I would say yes. I used it to attach LED fog lights to the bottom of my front bumper. 3 months and holding strong!

Haven't tried it on headlights...do not believe this would be a good product for that. Just my opinion.

I doubt that very much. You could try toothpaste as it works on headlights. what's wrong with the windows? what are you trying to accomplish?

I'm not sure, but I don't think these would be good for any headlight application.I've found them to be light duty - as the price indicates.

Yes. but it doesn't seem to protect the headlights from hazing. I've been using it on my headlights for 4 years and I am starting to notice a small patch of hazing. I used some toothpaste to get it and then used this product. Initially I bought this product because it was recommended by the manufacturer of the plastic invisible armour that I have on part of the hood and bumper of my car. I love how easy this product is to use and how nice my car looks after its waxed.

Yes but the dome light will bend on the connecting points. Also as of now my license plate light is flickering. These arent waterproof so humidity can get to it. Maybe hotglue them to protect them then install the plate lights
