It's on the INSIDE of the housing. I don't know if it affects the output or how it got there but it looks horrible.

 

Plastic polish...maybe

 

i doubt its in the inside. you probably just have it stained. plastic polish =

 

My 1996 headlights look like those, but I used Blue Magic polish from pep boys and it made them look brand spanking new....!

 

nail varnish remover, turn the towel regulary and don't get on paint.

 

I had that on the inside of my headlights and I scrubbed it with EVERYTHING I could find and nothing worked. Finally, I got buffing compund and a high-speed buffer and went at it. 5 min later, they looked brand new.

 

What kind of plastic polish? Go to local autoparts store?

 

Doesn't necessarily have to be a plastic polish...I just use regular car polish and my buffer and it comes off just fine. Just don't use a harsh polish otherwise you can permanantly etch the plastic...and that isn't good.

 

I'll try the car polish first and see if that helps any. Thanks guys

 

i would use plastic polish, a tad more agressive.

or if you get bored, try compound

 

You keep saying polish...throw me a brand or something here.

 

I think Meguiars has a plastic polished. Mine looked like junk when I first got em, they look decent now.

 

Wenol, two steps.

 

from the picture it looks more like damage from rock chips

 

I use either Meguiar's ScratchX or this plastic polish stuff from AutoZone that comes in a white bottle w/ blue label.. it's made for plastic rear convertible windows and other plastics. It works pretty well.

 

Novus makes a good plastic polish. I think they have two or three different polishes specifically for plastic.

Edit:

A quick google search finds the website

I've used 1 & 2 on plastic parts before, works great.

A claybar will probably take that off too

 

Use 3M™ Perfect-It™ II Rubbing Compound - Fine Cut (liquid 39002 or paste 39502)

Works great!

 

You can take off your bumper and carefully hit them with a buffer.
