Default DIY Cleaning your yellow headlights !

Ok so no money to buy new headlight spend less then $5 restoring them.. How you ask well simple

Tool: Colgate tooth paste, dry towel, water


Steps: 1. place toothpaste on headlights, 2. scrub with clean towel, 3. rince off and dry 4. repeat as many times to get to the stage of clean you want and 5 your all done !

Looks pretty good for using tooth paste. I recently did mines over, but sprayed them with clear.
