Do the majority of you experience yellowing moreso on the inside of the lens or the outside?

My yellowing was almost exclusively outer lens.

It starts on the outside, as tha's exposed to the elements more. The insides do yellow as well. Both my car's lenses have been polished, on the ebony, they are almost perfect (Hell, the black paint over the clear when you pop the hood is still perfect, and isnt worn) On the ed car though, they are still rather yellow. Im likely going to take apart both sets to pilish the insides as well (The red because it needs it, and the black likely because Ill be switching to hid's)

Then there are the ones that were butchered during assembly...

Back on track...Dave can attest for this method of headlight polishing: Its a simple one step process.

Step 1- Park your car at a meet that is being attended by myself and / or Mike621

Dave... you will have to readjust the patterns. My car looks great with them, they are more durable than stock and they have that "new 2k's" cars looks...

Move onwards man... don't stay trapped in the early 90's

I don't mean the beam pattern, I mean the Fresnel pattern.

And it's OK Danny, we all have different tastes when it comes to the appearance of our cars

I too prefer the stock look if you keep the "waterfall" grille. The 3 pieces were designed to go together. As Dave said, the patterns in the lenses themselves were designed to compliment each other.
