Does anyone know how to bring back the shine to the headlight covers on the 1996 altima's. THey are made of plastic. THe sun has made the covers dull and yellowish. If anyone has an idea on how to restore them or bring life back to them, I would appreciate any tips on how to do so.

Thanks in advance,
Eddie

Good question Eddy57. I'd like to know that too. Don't want to shell out $149 each for new ones.

i used a little brillow pad and scapped some of it off. then took some clear nail polish with 100% acytone and it shinned up nice.

Meguiar's has a product called Plastx which I used on my 98 Alty and minivan. It took a few applications, but came out pretty good.

For inside problems, you can put the light assembly in a oven under low temp. remove and pull apart, clean, reheat and reassemble.

Do they sell this product at autoparts stores or online? Thanks for taking the time to reply.

You can order it from their website, but it costs more plus the shipping and handling. Not all auto stores have it, I found it at Aid auto stores in the N.Y. area for $6.99 after trying Pep Boys,Auto Zone, and Walmart.
Good Luck

I used liquid cleaner wax on mine; came off after about a minute or so and looks like new.
