Grab your tooth paste and scrub the hell out of them, then wipe em down with a little water. It works pretty good

Mine are real nasty! I am just gonna buy projectors. Are you asking how to keep them from turning yellow? Or are they already yellow? Good wax might help prevent them from coloring.

I never had a problem w/ my 94 headlights yellowing, just had lots of rock chips in the lenses. Periodically I would wetsand the headlights (while bumper is off) and then use rubbing compound.

yah mine are like that too, just the driverside. I dont know if theres things to do to "prevent" it, i think it just happens. Especially if there older. All the rain, curosion, snow, dirt and rocks. if theres the littlest crack then that headlights done. i heard you can open it up and clean it then seal it back up. bump that... im just getting angel eyes

heres what you do and it works better than all of recomendations that i have read...take some eagle one never dull and use alot of force and rub it all over the lenses i mean put alot on..and let it sit on there for 5 min then use a dry towel to wipe them off..this works very well and the yellow tint comes right off.

Wet sand and buff is the best way to clean them up. When I had my car painted the body shop cleaned mine up and they looked brand new.
