Default Best way to clear up dirty head lights?

i have a 1994 integra ls, and the lights are kind of cloudy, and i want to make them as bright as possible so on those dark roads i can see everything, whats the best way to get them like new without buying new ones? ( and how much are new ones anyways? )

mothers polish always works wonders for me.

it works wonders for many other H-T members on here as well

there are a few threads of people cleaning their headlights with them if you look for them.

Just get 1000 grid sandpaper and wet sand it. Promise u it'll work. Mines so clear people think its new.

you can polish and buff til no tomorrow, but the haze will return because theres nothing protecing the now unprotected and exposed plastic.

make sure you use a sealant afterward.

i've had great results with a product called glossylite.

best bet would be to wet sand them down and then use the plastic polish. you can also use wax to protect from the sun. but yeah the yellowing will come back but it'll take some time. and you just do it again.

If you don't want to get all crazy with sanding...

Works EXTREMELY well by hand + elbow, but if you've got a small buffer...GOLDEN!
