Does any one know where to get new headlight for a 96. All i can find is courtesy nissan? But there is made of glass, and 300 a piece. Is that glass different from the oem headlights? Sorry 2 questions

like he said in the title he doesnt like the yellow... makes your car look fugly.

If you do not want yellow forever go with glass or someboyd from here or Zilvia was doing a headlight cleaning service for 50 dollars and a warranty. If you search the thread you will come across the thread im talking about.

You can take your headlights off and clean it with things like Novus3,2,1 but it doesnt stay clean for long. Personally I cant afford glass headlights although I would really like a set... So I keep cleaning.

isnt there the platic cleaner? i used it once on my previous car and it looked pretty good. i also heard u can buff it but i havent tried it yet. there is also a topic about this someplace where they clean it on the supra but they take apart the headlights and all that good stuff. ill just leave mine as is. LOL

People say Meguirs, or some chrome polish, or something Called orange blast. You can do a search on this and find various solutions. IMO cleaners dont get them super clean enough. I got me some glass headlights from courtesyparts.com 253

If you dont wanna spend that kinda cash, the various cleaning solutions wont cost more than 5 bux, and be prepared to scrub like you never scrubbed before...

you can go to Tap Plastics on the internet. they sell plastic cleaner. get the stage two. i used them on my zenkis and they looked brand new after a couple applications. it's only like $3 plus shipping.

you can also wet sand them with 1500 grit or 2000 grit sand paper. you will start to see the yellow stuff coming off. after that put some compund on it and buff the lights until shiny.

fingernail polish remover gets it off but to get the inside you have to take the headlight apart.
