i don't understand how you stained your headlights yellow? did you over cook'em?

i think your only fix would be to buy new ones if you cain't scrub the yellow out

Just kidding...you got to try the sanding thing. What do you think guys use a block and very even sanding careful on the edges.

Remember you can take more off if it aint right the first time.

What temp did you cook at?
