can anybody tell me how to get the yellow out of the interior of your head lights...i have tried everything....
thank you
Out of the inside? Is there a lot of condensation or is the plastic just yellowed? You may be able to wet sand the outside w/ 800 grit, 1000 grit, then polish off w/ rubbing compound. That's how I got mine to look shiney and new. My arm was killing me for a few days, but it was worth it. If it's on the inside, I'm not sure how to help you out, though....
The yellow is most likely on the outside of the light.
What If It Is On Th In Side?

Can you tell if it's on the inside surface of the lens, or if the silver coating has come off the curved reflector at the back, showing the dull plastic underneath?
Use a putty knife and pry the lense from the housing. You will find that once you get the factory seal pealed off, the lense pops loose from the housing with little persuasion. Then you will see if it is the inside of the lense or the silver finish inside. If it is the lense clean it a best as possible. There are some decent plastic lense cleaning products out there. If it is the silver finish, I'm not sure if you can try to spray it with that "chrome" paint. Never tried it. Even if it is only the lense, you still should clean the inside of the housing with the lense off. When you put the lense back on seal it with clear lense sealer/glue. It's a Permatex product you can get at about any parts store.
Put some "Dawn" dish soap inside and fill with hot water, then cover the hole and shake. Rinse and repeat if nessesary, works great!! :grinno:
two words, pressure washer...
worked wonders on mine, they're not crystal clear but I can see the bulb and the inside of the housing. It used to be really cloudy before I pressure washed them.
How's getting sheet metal, making it nice and reflective and using that to repair my 'chrome' reflection in the housing? My headlights don't project on anything but signs and relfectors.
When I redid my tailights, I used "chrome" paint. Really made the lights bright. Don't see why it wouldn't work on the headlight reflectors. :ies:
