Hello everyone, my sir headlights are fading yellow. is there a way to clean em up to make em look clear??

TIA

 

you can try Meguiars Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish~

my headlights were a little faded, but not yellow when i used the cleaner and polish, and man were they blingin after!

or you could try wetsanding with a very very fine grit sandpaper...

make sure you put your time and elbow grease in with the cleaner and polish, you should have good results.

 

the sir headlights are glass. have you heard anyone cleaning the glass headlights using this method?

u must have the uk si-r headlamps. most liekly it is on the inside if its glass. try rinsing em the insides out.

 

Real JDM siR headlights are plastic & VT's (Euro siR) are glass, I live in the UK & have a JDM siR it had plastic headlights but the bulbs are £££ over here & they go yellow when they get old, so I got sum VT glass headlights

I guess if you can take them apart you could clean em but I have a spare plastic head light & it dont wana pop open!

when i did the 9005 bulb conversion, the color changed from yellow to white since they were much brighter. i dont know if you're talking about when they're on or off, but it may help you.

 

my headlight Lens are fading yellow. i could have sworn that the jdm sir's are glass and the ZC's are plastic. ill check again.

Rubbing compound...buff it out...trust me...it works

 

So should I wet sand them, or just use the rubbing compound/plastic cleaner?

 

if u have the extra time....bake them, open them up and clean up the inside

dude... he's talking about the lens....as in the head light lens... not the bulbs..

 

no need to open them up the fading is on the outside, unless u have a crack nothing can get inside the headlight thus it can't get diry no sense in cleaning it inside.. but the rubbing compount method does work on plastic lens, never tryed it on glass but it might have the same result.

 

so the best thing to do is use the rubbing compund?? or would it be better to sand em down?
