  • Yellowing headlights

    My headlights have a yellow colour apparently due to crazing. Has anyone ever removed the plastic cover from the headlights? I'm expecting I could polish the plastic to get rid of the crazing if I can remove the plastic cover.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Geoff...

    It's not dust ingress via the bulb assembly is it? This happended on my old Prado so I pulled the headlights out and washed them out with soapy water, thoroughly dried them and replaced them with no problems and crystal clear glass.

          Hi ,,
          it is a normal body polish ,,
          But first you need to roughens the light surface with sand paper " # 0 "
          SEE Pic. # 2 .
          Then with a normal polish materials you can go with smoothing the light surface >>

            I have cleaned my headlights with Rainex, the stuff you put on windscreens with no wipers, the headlights come up as good as new ,no sandpaper.Put the Rainex on a soft cloth and polish the glass, works good ,very easy.

              Repco sell a kit to do this. I haven't tried it, but it costs ~$50

              My headlights desperately need something...

                does the yellowing happen from the dust residue somehow reacting with the plastic or embedding itself ?

                you see quite old cars having this where as its a suprise to me the 120's get this :S

                  I tried Rainex as suggested, and it brought them up ~50%

                  They still have yellowing from different angles, but I was surprised how well this worked.
