97 headlight prblem

[oigetit]

Hi all. Just found and jined this great site! Here's my first question. Got a 97 that seems to have yellowed/fogged headlight lenses. Lights not as bright as shoould be. Any known problem/fix???

If the car is parked outside (and has alot of exposure to the elements) and the headlights are cleaned too often that will happen.

You can try getting some Meguiar's Plastic Polish. Some have said it did wonders for their lights. I have been fortunate to have a garage at home and covered parking at work, so my lights have not yellowed at all....I also give them a good cleaning every time the car is washed.

And welcome to AF

Yes it does work very well, my sister tempo had the same problem. It was like you hand waxed your car, apply let cloud up and hand buff off. I did it about 3 or 4 times and almost looked new! Works with almost any of your exterior plastics.

Agreed, I have done this to mine and it has worked wonders. Pic below of my results:


Also, Meguiar's has a new product currently out that is a combined cleaner/polish in one meant for polishing clear plastics called "PLASTX". This should do the trick as well.
