You need to do the following to restore headlights on your car; Headlight restoration kit Car wash solution, window cleaner or a spray bottle with cold water Masking or painters tape Power drill (optional depending on the restoration kit) Dry towels or detailing cloths Elbow grease and patience Instructions 1. Clean the headlight area with soap and water to remove surface-level dirt and debris. Windex or a household glass cleaner can also do the trick. Make sure the headlights are completely dry, and then move to Step 2. 2. Once dry, tape off the surrounding areas near the headlights (any of the car's painted body panels that touch the headlights). This is an important precaution as it prevents sanding damage to your car's paint during the restoration process. 3. Both headlight restoration kits provided a few different grits or strengths of sandpaper to use. Using a spray bottle filled with water or a provided lubrication liquid, dose the headlight and get the lowest number piece of sandpaper wet. 4. In a side-to-side motion, rub with pressure the lowest number (1,000 or 1) sandpaper piece across the headlight's surface, being careful not to touch any other part of the car's body. You want to create a full "glazed" look that covers the headlight assembly. Always keep the sandpaper piece and the headlight assembly wet with water. 5. Move on to the next highest number (2,000 or 2) grit of sandpaper, and rub across the headlight in an opposite up-and-down motion. Continue, unless instructed otherwise, to keep the sandpaper and headlight assembly wet.

Why would the headlights be so dim on a 1993 Plymouth Voyager?

Poor ground or weak alternator/battery. Have your electrical system checked. If your headlights are like the Headlights on most Voyager/Caravans the lens is dirty. I detail headlights at used car dealerships in the Jackson Tn. area and I use a product called CrystaLenz to restore the lenses. Most cars with plastic headlight lenses and especially Chrysler/Jeep products have that problem. Check out their website for more info. www.crystalenz.com.
