need a set of headlights Reply #8 – September 27, 2006, 07:38:36 PM I've heard (haven'ttried myself, I ebayed a set for myself) but the grime is on the outside. Supposedly if you hit the outside of the lens with a buffer they will clear up. Probably a mild or light compound. Quote Selected

need a set of headlights Reply #11 – September 30, 2006, 05:26:32 PM Most of the time it's stained on the inside, ive actually never seen one ONLY on the out side. Moisture coming in from the seal just kills it. Quote Selected

Moisture coming in from the seal just kills it.I'm not saying that they will be exactly like new after buffing them, but the yellowing is 90% or better the cause of road grime and things of that nature being baked on for so many years. Even when moisture gets on the inside of the lens it doesn't normally have enough dirt to make a humongous difference like the outside gets. Water in general doesn't "yellow" a lens.It's just some advice I've heard, I can't say that it is a perfect plan but it does make the headlights useable again and is much cheaper than buying a new set. I bought a new set since my lenses actually fell off and I found new ones as cheap as some of the bone yards around here wanted. Quote Selected
