Well...got an update. Thanks a lot fo the suggestion about the nail polish remover. I put it on a cloth and wiped it across the lense and it turns clear. Look at the cloth and it has all this yellow on it. My lense on each side now are clear but if you look close you can see that the film or protective enamel or whatever was over the lense when you buy a new car that protects it was worn off where the yellow was. You can see it shines a little more and is a little more smooth and then you can see where it fades. So i guess weathering and crap wears off the protective layer over the lense then the yellow crap srats to build up. THANKS AGAIN ThaJazz!! That should keep my lights looking better for a while till I get me projectors :naughty: And thanks to everyone else for all their help and suggestions :thumbup: ...peace!!

p.s. What did you mean about polishing the lense afterwards. Not sure what to do about that.
