My Freshly Retrofitted Headlights Are Ruined Already // Forester XT

After Retrofitting OEM LED DRL's into my 2015 Subaru Forester XT, the used headlight lenses developed crazing, so.. of course I went over the top to make them perfect again by destroying a brand new set of base model headlights.

One has to admire your sheer bloody minded determination to get "the look" you want. Respect.

[@Aluzcz]

That's why they inject poison in their lips and put plastic in their chests.....

[@timbrook-taylor3434]

I'm happy with her 'look' 😂🤣😂🤣

[@FrontyardJ]

The OCD is Strong in This One! I Applaud your Effort and Results!

[@1diotwithideas]

That's a understatement

[@blackfly29er]

... and we learned about Craizin.

One step away from becoming a crazy cat lady..

[@mvmallinson]

Yup, something special about this video. Your communication skills are fabulous, we all really feel we are there with you and truly sharing the experience.......so entertaining Sarah, love it.

[@mvmallinson]

You should be asleep !

[@seanmcneill8899]

You never give up Sarah, your such an inspiration to all your fans we just all love you. Greetings from Ireland 😚

[@figitt88]

You are one of the very few i've found in life that feels like me. The need to make things nice, to a level over and above what most would do. Not to mention you look very nice in the process, smile and all. Thank you !

[@johnh472]

I love both of Sarah's headlights - viewed at any angle! :)

[@Primus54]

Just rewatched this video and have decided it is one of your best. Lots of details, problem-solving, humor, and end-result satisfaction. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos!

[@djones014]

I am amazed at how much I enjoy watching videos of things not going right the first time. Thank you for bringing these challenges to us.

[@mortimergladbreath]

Your beautiful smile is a beacon of light in these dark times. Thank you.

[@twise95]

Just wanted to say I liked this video because you said "It's OK to be crazy." I needed to hear that. It's already been said but your willpower is inspiring! Thanks for bringing us on your journey.

[@Galiuros]

I've learned a lot about the ins and outs of detailing and body work from the last two videos. Seeing the MR2 buffed out so nice really brings together your hard work.

[@GOIIWARTV]

Love your attention to detail, no matter how big or small . Show you take pride in your project.

[@tymeryder7264]

The world should be crazy just like you, Sarah. Thank you for the humor and skill.

[@AllStars2525]

I admire how thorough you are! I'm no auto enthusiast like you, but I do know talent and hard work when I see it!

[@freedomfriestv]

Super appreciate the time spent on camera angles and overall video quality! Great job on those headlights too!

[@harryl8234]

Came across your video by accident. I'm glad I did. You are wonderful to watch. You are funny and quirky, especially during your installs. I have such a great personality.

[@FujiboHeavy]

Well done! definitely NOT OCD. Its keeping the car clean, and alot of people dont realize that headlights do make a huge difference in the front overall appearance

[@richardbutton1179]

Your amount of patience is astounding

[@BraveMon23]

your searching of perfection is remarkable in anything you do......you inspire me......greetings!!

[@getlosttoday4045]

"Car is smelling like tadpoles what do you have to say about that" 🤣🤣🤣 time to detail that passenger seat Sarah! 😂

[@dka7583]

Your attention to details are next level. As is your work ethics. Great job.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Hahaha that intro was impressive! I don't think I could beat that! Thanks for the shoutout!

[@wild_lee_coyote]

You make me laugh more than any other KZbin channel. Stay genuine Sarah.

[@superwiseman452]

Technical knowledge of this lady is impressive. Clearly comes from a technical background and has done more than vehicles, IMO.

[@saintstrimandpaintinc.3274]

Thanks for doing such a nice job. And it's not crazy to talk and have fun with the things around us. Enjoy

[@nelsons48]

Your my kind of nut, thanks Sarah for being ADORABLE and Entertaining ❤

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

Beautiful lights and worth every penny. I forgot that you had changed out the lens on each headlamp. I learned to point my vehicle if possible with the headlights pointing away from the sun. Afternoon to evening sun killed my lenses.

[@diverbob8]

Smile Sarah....your kind of crazy is to die for....go for it, you're a gem!

[@yogimarkmac]

Hi Sarah. I just came upon your videos a couple of weeks ago when I fell in love with the 86/BRZ/FRS and started watching all the videos I could find. Your videos are really entertaining. I just subscribed.

[@bigsp0073ify]

I’m personally a fan of yellow fogs. Props on Gump. People have no idea how tedious custom headlights can be. Keep up the awesome work Sarah!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@petev4030]

Was having a bad day until I played your latest vid. Your sense of humor and attention to detail made me smile again. Your quite a young lady, keep up the great vids. 🇺🇸👍

[@JaCubanito]

Sarah leveled up to the next level of awesome, not only for the "Fire" jokes but the killer RATM T-shirt. Thanks for the quality content.

[@perfektg]

Sarah, the best way to protect your head lamp lens is to put self healing head lamp protectant film on them. It keeps the head lamps from pitting and abrasions from rocks and it also keeps the head lamp from discoloration by the sun as a UV protectant. I put them on all of my head lamps and have never had any issues with pitting, cracking or discoloration.

[@DuffBrian]

"It's OK to be crazy." - Sarah, 2020

[@chrisgabbert658]

I think were all a little crazy just some are more than others 😂🤪🥰

[@AndrewinAus]

I can see a merch T-shirt in the works somehow.

[@PetrolJunkie]

Most likely, and fair warning to all buyers, many used parts dealers will polish headlight lenses to get rid of any clouding. Most people won’t buy used headlights that are clouded because they are replacing broken or clouded headlights. Unless you want matching clouded headlights for some reason. If you ever polish your headlights to remove the clouding, reseal them with UV protection otherwise you wastes your time and money.

[@srconcepts1848]

Great video, Sarah! You did a butyl-ful job on these things... Hey, my jokes are fire as well lol

[@tonygiraldes7848]

Your self deprecating sense of humor is both entertaining and endearing 😊 Yet another reason your channel is just the greatest 👍

[@bobuncle8704]

Another nice edition of headlight baking with Sarah. I know what’s coming up, but I won’t give it away...don’t want to spoil the surprise. I am looking forward to their video however

[@leedanielson7452]

OMG! You were hilarious in this video...This had to be your funniest one ever! 😂👍🎉😂👍🎉🎉🎉🥰

[@ddd228]

I LOT of twisted contortions to get under the dash. Yeah, you will get a small amount of blood loss.

[@jeremyanthony9300]

you and Liz have awesome channels. yours and hers channels are my favorite.

[@sandiegodan]

Great video! I agree, clear headlights give a new appearance to all vehicles. That and dirty wheel wells will make a car look older no matter what else you've done. Did you use any new sealant when you swapped the lens' or was there enough left on them to do the job? Did it need to be warmed up again for it to seal?

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, always a pleasure to watch your videos Sarah.

[@Nico_83]

The 3 blinks excitement.... we all had it, right!?!

[@Auracanal]

Absolutely understand and agree. Nothing more satisfying than perfection up to microscopic scale.

[@dlvh007]

Head/Taillights look great Sarah. Glad to see Mr. Frog back, and that you fixed his Leaking Problem with a Pink diaper.

[@vinnyi8391]

Love the determination you have in getting your vehicles to how you want them.

[@scottreyes17]

Finally a car channel that's not an expert taking full wiring harnesses out in 7 minutes. I'm not alone.

[@62shalaka]

What you had is stress cracking of the polycarbonate lens material. Polycarbonate will do that when it's poorly molded, caused by molded in stress. I worked with it for years.

[@AlanSilva-pl9tu]

Beauty, brains, and she's a car fanatic! Sarah you are the perfect woman!

[@stormdamnit]

I laughed so hard at the growling cat noise at 4:09!! I sure enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for the time you put into editing them and sharing with us.

[@tabascodave5357]

You worked so hard on those! That sucks. Thank you for showing this so I can avoid that when I tackle mine next summer.

[@scottkailey1]

I completely understand I am a freak about having clear headlights! I live in the country and being able to see at night is very important.

[@jaydub5515]

For the fogs; I think you should go LED, but keep the yellows, because it looks kinda Euro, and isn't too common over here. Sick re-retrofit job, though. Gold star!

[@UFOGHOSTHUNTER]

I don't have a Subaru, but I enjoy watching your uploads!

[@UnkTob]

The sound effects this episode are FIRE!! Definitely adds to the humor! 😀👍

[@puuxexil]

3:13, I'm already laughing without the "That's what they said..."

[@jamesemcclure]

Agree. Yellow tint on fog lights need to go. They look out of place now you've updated everything else. You're very amusing. Keep up the great work.

[@johnellis6959]

Another great episode with some extra innuendos thrown in. 🔥🔥🔥

[@grailph]

It was worth it just watching you work. Great job!

[@jcsrst]

With so many hackers on youtube it's super refreshing to see you go the extra mile.

[@anthonywagner3273]

Hi Sarah, I love watching your videos and I'm very impressed with your knowledge and skills. Also love that you have a dirty mind LOL. Keep up the great work and its now time to give the MR2 a rip around town. Great job on that project.

[@ericbreivogel3476]

Ligitamatly makes it look something STi would do! LOVE IT!!

[@Gene1969]

I literally had to pause the video when you pulled out the new headlights. OMG the cost just for the lenses! You went all out! I'm also impressed you didn't detail the inside bumper again.

[@SarahnTuned]

The car has mostly sat in my driveway/garage since I detailed it, hasn’t been driven in rain yet so it was still clean underneath.

[@bretkirschbaum985]

Thank you so much for all your hard work on the video's. I enjoy them so much! Watch em all😁 look forward to your postings 😁 gotta love the Sarah

[@chazman4461]

I would have bought new headlights too. Also, thank you for the heads up on the headlight coating uv spray. If you find anything else better let us know. I just did LED upgrades in my wife's 2016 forester with her high beams and fog lights. They were well worth the money.

[@joesh9845]

New to your Channel ( LOVE IT ) Thank you!! your video is informative and fun to watch. Joseph From STL MO.

[@alscottpool]

I totally get it, I can't stand a messed up lens great job, thanks for sharing

[@alscottpool]

An your definitely a true DIY mechanic, we also cuss a lot LMAO 😂 but it makes for a entertaining video an realistic, awesome

[@joshuaszeto]

as a side project, I'm curious to see what would happen if you did properly sand the lens down to like 2000 grit and spray a 2k uv protective clear on it. I'm curious how visible the crazing will be

[@seancolon9890]

Haha your sound effects!!! Power drill when your doing it by hand, then what sounded like GIzmo the gremlin grumbling! To funny

[@iveyfaganjr605]

I totally agree with you! It's like dirty eyeglasses or windshield. I can't deal with that sh**! I would do the same thing! And because of you, I'm going for a forester for my next car!

[@claypigeon001]

Stick with the yellow with the fog light Sarah, it does make a huge difference when you are in need of it to see. Other than that the gump is looking mighty fine 😊❤️

[@HockeyDay]

You like things done right and you take pride in your work, go for it

[@The_Regular_Dad]

I would've done the lenses too... that suuucks. Outcome was worth it I think. Also, can't wait to see the swap go down.. also... I love you.

[@davestewart9146]

I absolutely love your sense of humor 😁👍❤️

[@rogerjohnson2515]

Well done, endeavour to persevere. Always entertaining, keep the great videos coming.

[@mfl950]

Please don't ever change. !

[@manuelg8050]

I think you did a great job. With that thorough work it really could pass a german TÜV inspection. :)

[@maxbrown853]

Hi Sarah,.When you clean plastic headlights with a glass cleaning product, and put the car in the sun, the chemicals from the glass cleaner make plastic products crack. I don’t know if that is what you did but it is something to remember🤔. Transparant nail paint is often used to fill cracks and then polished and buffed, to fix it. You might try it, see if it works out for you. Greetings from ‘the Netherlands ‘😎

[@murphtheirishmanmurphy7268]

The headlights look awesome! Well done Sarah. 😍☘️

[@James7995]

I love your soundtrack choices

[@TommyBlazeHD]

TYC make amazing headlights! I stand by them! Great quality for awesome retrofit builds! I used them on mine. Cheaper than OEM, but by no means a cheap alternative.

[@CAV3MAN227]

I missed a few episodes and now I'm back to catch up, I've missed you and your voice.

[@eltoro777]

Luv your nails BTW!! Best I've ever seen actually! Did retrofit on my 325xi projectors with angel eyes other day with 3 blink led smoke amber side blinkers!! Phucking luv it! Bump looks great Sarah! Phuck the haters! Cause they aintus! Editing is on point girl!! Awesome !

[@joecovey2235]

Yes to replacing the fog lights with LEDs and getting rid of the gold tint. It's definitely dated. The headlights look great and nice upgrade to the turn signals. Also, love the TWSS and TWHS.

[@jimmybell2402]

PLEXUS! I’ve used that for 15 years and when I sold my daughter’s 2010 Mazda, the headlight lenses were as clear as brand new. I detailed on the side and I’ve never seen a better product for lenses. I had 1 can last for years before I had to get another. It works great on Jeep vinyl windows too.

[@SarahnTuned]

I swear I used that once before and yeah, it worked amazing.

[@FOX11GUY]

I spray waxes and sealers onto the towel rather than directly on the surface. The over-spray is so inconvenient on the surrounding surfaces. I learned the hard way.

[@casperburgos1066]

Remember that OCD is Awesome. That means your smart and want things done right. Wow smart, beautiful and amazing. Thank you for all these amazingly fun videos.

[@bassclefconnoisseur]

Loved the sounds of the screwgun (4:06) while (wo)manually removing the screws in fast-motion. U b phunny girl!

[@djjakewalpole1]

The clue is definitely a manual conversion can't wait love you sarah

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

Wow fun Vid Sarah.Been playing around with headlights for awhile myself,Will not like yours.Been installing Tube LED lights under the lenses and retro fitting DRLs with xtremely high watt High beam LEDs for high speed desert highway night driving, without resorting to ugly light bars.Keeping the O.E. look,which is better for resale.

[@jameslongobardo274]

Sarah I do enjoy your videos. You are so yourself . You keep me smiling. I don't know if your married or have a boyfriend but he's one lucky person as you must be a blast to be around Please be safe and keep the videos coming

[@dez7726]

since you have a spare lens can you try to fix them by clear coating them? Also update the fogs.

[@joseluque4094]

I got mine wrapped with clear film 3M. Is just perfect, cause also protect for rock Chip's

[@hegeliandetective1034]

Sarah! They were just fine. You'll hate it if you get rock chips in your SUPER NEW nice ones now *smirk*

[@derrekb4501]

I love this channel Sarah is amazing and funny as is her raunchy friend 😂

[@LWDavis58]

Your headlights are perfect. You have a tight screw. Also, your sense of humor is intact. Love watching your videos. You are an anomaly. Great job girl.

[@gregorykellerman3876]

I figured there would be comments about her headlights. I wasn't disappointed.

[@DumbledoreMcCracken]

I used the pink fiberglass insulation on my garage door, in my last house. It seemed to help a lot.

[@brankosinko7876]

Hi from Toronto Canada just seen your video on head light great work and fun fun so be safe out there thanks

[@markthompsoncpa]

I like your muted pastel tatoo. Very different & very cool.

[@CarswithNash]

Love your weirdness Sarah! Those headlights look sick, worth the effort!👍
