my headlights are yellow!

Wolfy · #1 05-30-2008, 10:56 PM

not by my choice but age and dirt and stuff. how do i clean it? it seems its yellow on the inside but dunno how to get the headlight off let alone take out the lens to clean the inside. somebody told me that nail polish remover with acetone would penetrate through the lens and clean it so its clear.or if anyone has a pair of clean and clear headlights they wanna sell ill prolly buy it off you... as well as a driver side power window switch lol

Welcome to the forum.

But that would take Effort, and he's afraid of not having a home after effort gets taken, right?

BINGO

Mother Mag and Aluminum polish is what you want

along with 20 min per light and a lot of elbow grease

I just did my headlights last weekend and they look like new.

I bought a sheet of 1000 grit wetsanding paper, a sheet of 2000 grit and a headlight polishing compound they sell at any autozone.

From ugly yellow to brand new and shiny look in less than 20 min.

Wet sand them with the 1000 grit until they feel smooth, the with the 2000 grit, make sure you use circular moves and make sure you cover the whole surface. Clean and dry them to find out spots that might need more sanding. They shoud look all cloudy but feel smooth.

Then rub them with the polishing compound, apply good pressure to the surface, and clean. Repeat as many times you want to give them that perfect shine
