Yellowed Headlights
« on: July 28, 2012, 11:19:54 am »
Hey guys ,
Its been bugging me for a while now , my headlights have that yellow tinge to them , I believe this is due to sun exposure , really annoys me after giving the car a good clean that the lights look so dirty !

Is there anything that can be done ?
Is it possible just to replace the plastic coverings ? or would a whole new light unit be required

Cheers
John

A few members have restored their headlights using 3m headlight restoration kit off ebay, havent done it myself but here's the link to show the difference:

I had badly corroded headlights and I followed the wet sand thread on here and it made my headlights look like new! Just follow this link and it gives you great step by step advice on how to restore your headlights. Takes a bit of effort, but it's well worth it!  :happy2:
