Easiest way is to go find some finger nail polish remover that has acetone in it. Put a little bit on a towel or something and rub across the headlights till they are clean. Be sure to take the headlights out so you don't hit your paint with it, cuz it will eat it.

one of my headlights is kinda doing that. seems like on the old board i saw a post about this and the guy said that he went and bought some meguiars plastic cleaner or sumthin and it cleaned it. i'm gonna try that fingernail polish thing tho, i hate that yellow crap.

Dont laugh but i heard thootpaste does the job, i don't know for my self but hell, just a walk to the bathroom doesn't hurt nobody.

if you try it and if it works could you post the difference?

BTW if its Crest or Colgate or Spearment or bubble gum flavor i don't know about that!!! :alcoholic

are you kidding me? you just said a walk doesn't hurt anyone, so why don't you go see if it works before you post about it ;)

What about brake lights covers? Mine look like someone took a **** in them. What can anyone say about using fingernail/Meguiar's/toothpaste/Infinity owner's secret formula on those? I mean, obviously I shouldn't use Visine . . .

Tooth paste is probably a bad idea because it is abrasive. So it might scratch and make things worse. Unless of course you use Gel.

you guys ever figure out how to get the yellow hue off the headlight? I have a 97 with those fake hid bulbs and all I'm getting is white/yellow color outta the headlight! Its damn annoying!
