ugly yellowheadlight. Looks like somebody has smoked cigs in it. How do I get rid of it???

 

this may sound a little extreme- but it worked on my friends supra (supra lights are hella expensive) buy the finest ,highest grit count sandpaper that u can find and wet sand your headlights (off your car) with bleach. your headlights will look great if you survive. lol - but it does really work no joke.

EDIT: o and when ur done, buff your headlights out (my friend rob sprayed his with clear coat, but i'm not sure if this is reccomended.)

 

brake fluid takes the yellow out just by wiping it on with a rag it will look alot better and can be done to both lights in under 1 min if you want it to be really clear get high grit sand paper and wet sand it till all yellow gone then buff but dont get brake fluid on your paint if u do wash it off with water really fast lol

 

The oxidization(sp?) is on the inside of the headlight housing. The best way to get rid of it is to take the headlights off, bake them (Search, I cant remember heat/time) and remove the plastic from the light itself. Then wet sand it/buff it if you really want to. Apply a consistent bead of silicone around the light and put the lenses back on, make sure it is completely sealed (IMPORTANT)

Cleaning the outside works also, but it doesnt last very long. I have ued mothers aluminum wheel polish and MANY other things on the outside of my headlights and it looked a little better for awhile but the yellow is back worse than ever.

Good luck!

 

Why not get new headlights? HID, H4?

 

Because HID's look like *** with yellowed plastic lenses. And glass lenses are $$$.

 

more importantly hid optics make a terrible pair with halogen based technology.

heres what you need to do (what i did for a friend):

wetsand with 1500 then 2000 grit with soapy water, 3 coats of clearcoat, polish, wax!


take off the lense and paint inside if you wish:


i have something more elaborate for the pair of zenki headlights i just bought... i'll keep you guys updated let's just reidderate that i'm the hid ***** (oem hid) and that might spark a thought

 

those headlights look familiar.
