Theres some custom stuff I want to try and I don't want to do it on mine because they're in perfect condition.

waste of money

anyone else with any other ideas, i think i'm just going to give up and buy some new ones

Why would you use sandpaper on em???

Did you try a fine rubbing compound on a rag yet?...

It works AWESOME! some wet sand, and some WD-40... works the best! i used it with some rubbing compound afterwords, my headlights look actually BRAND SPANKING NEW! NO yellow, NO fading, NO oxydation, NO chips, nothing! BRAND NEW HEADLIGHTS... only cost about $6 for several wetsand sand paper, then the rubbing compound... WORKS the BEST in my opinion! check it out!

ok so thats pretty much what mine where like, not yellow and shit, just cloudy with the lights on, but then i did the wet sand, and Wah-La... their is a write up on tuners that i followed only rather then water i used WD-40 (WAY BETTER), and stole the pic from! but i didnt save the link...

the idea is that you are only using really fine sandpaper, and you start with 1000 grit and work your way up to about 2500 grit then use the compound to polish

I used 1000 and A LOT of WD-40 to start with, and sanded it down till it all was about the same texture and the same cloudy look all over the whole lense (do it right, take the lights off the car!), then i sanded the HELL out of it with 2500, and just enough WD-40 to keep it moist. then i cleaned them with rubbing alcohol untill they wherent slick anymore from the WD-40, then i polished them with some rubbing compound and they came out AWESOME!

wet sand and buffing with rubbing compound is the best way to get rid of fog headlights... heres mine after...they were yellow!

What the freak... I looked all over the place for those that didn't have the corners cut like mine. I thought I had seen them before but couldn't find any sign of their existence... Oh well, mine make it look more aggresive. lol

After reading this thread I decided that my headlights were a little bit foggy too. So today I took some 2000 grit I had laying around and hit the headlights up, using some soapy water as a lubricant. Most work I've done in a long time....time consuming too. After that I buffed them with some KIT buffing compound that I also had laying around. After that I finished them up with some Mothers wax. They came out beautiful.....the lenses are sooo smooth and slick, I lovey.
