Seeing how some of you guys are wondering how to clear your yellow, hazy, or discolored headlights i took it upon myself to write this lil guide today.

Seeing how my headlights were getting this buildup of crap on the bottom and starting to get unclear i decided to polish em up

Before Pics:



So here's the supplies you will need:

1. spray bottle with some mild detergent
2. 3m rubbing compound (pickup at walmart $5.96/bottle)
3. plastic polish
4. painters tape
5. sandpaper (best to get a wide range from 400, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000)
6. terry cloth

First step is to tape off the area around your headlights so you don't accidently sand your surrounding area.


Next, begins the fun. Basically wetsand down your headlights with the sandpaper. The idea is to keep the area wet and sand in a linear motion. Start with lowest grade sandpaper (400) and work your way up to 2000. Each grade should take approxiately 3-5mins. Should look like this after your done


Next step, use some 3M rubbing compound and a clean terry cloth and start rubbing again in a circular motion till you cover the entire headlight. You will properly have to appy about 5-10 layers if not more until the headlight will begin to clear.



Then apply the plastic polish/wax on the headlight and polish until crystal clear. If scratches still remain reapply the rubbing compound until scatches are removed and repeat waxing/polishing.


Repeat on other side:

wetsand, compound, wax/polish...

Finished product should come out like this:


No more haze or dirty buildup on bottom! Looks practically brand new again! Looks better in personal without the glare...
