Cheap Fix For Headlights
I just tried something ridiculous and it works awesome! Strange as it sounds, give it a try, you will love the results!
My plastic headlight lenses were cloudy and somewhat yellowed from age. They looked bad! So before I ran out to find new ones I used some 180 grit sandpaper and lightly sanded them by hand. They turned completely white similar to frosted glass. Then I wiped them down to make sure all the sanding dust was gone and sprayed them with a clear gloss lacquer.
They look brand new! The total time spent was about 10 minutes! It is amazing how it improved the performance too.
