Headlight restoration in North East Ohio (Christmas Help Needed)

So after a lot of thought on the pro's and con's of restoration VS replacement (and a bunch of internet research), I've decided to take the coward's way out. Brand New lights housings for his truck, run between $80 and $120. Something I *can* afford, even with my 'not working, but not yet getting my retirement check' financials.

I was going to jump on the bandwagon of "do it yourself" and give another nudge of encouragement to give it a try...and then I read this. For brand new housings, that's incredibly cheap and a "no brainer" to just swap out the housings if you have the means. It is the better solution in the long run.

I only polish out headlights because the housings for our vehicles are hundreds of dollars for each side (not a fancy car), and there is no way I'll pay that kind of money when a good restoration kit is around $30.

I plan on "giving my brother" his OLD headlights back, wrapped up as a Christmas present. Then asking for them to practice on.

The cost range on the new housings depends on if I'm just getting the "High beam/Low beam" housings by themselves, or if I'm getting those, plus the DRL/Turn Signal housings as well. Being OCD, I'm opting for all 4 housings, which will put the cost on the higher side of the scale. A very small price to pay compared to what my brother has done for me.
