Greetings...Over time, the lenses over my headlights have become obscured, a bit rough, and dull, no longer being crystal clear. Can I polish them to become clear again?Can I Polish and Renew the Clear Plastic Covers over my Headlights?
Yes they make a polish that you can get at the local parts store.. You can also use a mild rubbing compound. If it is not to bad you can use toothpaste. just remember to not use anything to abrasive.Can I Polish and Renew the Clear Plastic Covers over my Headlights?
Yes. They sell a plastic polish. But the dingie, fadded look is on the inside of the headlight from the heat off the light bulb. All the gases that it puts out sticks to the plastic. So take it off and clean the inside too. Oh and you can get the blue lights they sell them anywhere. They dont burn is hot.

My headlight in my car look yellow, how can i clean them from the inside, to make them clear once again?
i own a shop,and if its on the inside of it you have to break the seal on the inside of it to get to it,i have done this before,and you can re-seal it,, the seal being partially broken on it is whats making it draw moisture to start with,i did a few Nissan's and Toyota,s before,and you can do it,,use epoxy to re-seal it with,it will work real good ,and this will stop it from doing this again,good luck with it,hope this help,s.,,have a good x-mas.My headlight in my car look yellow, how can i clean them from the inside, to make them clear once again?

If its inside you can't. If its outside,which it probably is, You can buy a lens poishing kit and most auto stores.
I have used buffing compound and then some polishing compound on the outside. This will remove discoloration from your lens.

I have a 1996 Ford Contour GL and the headlight arent that bright! the lenses are clear as can be and i dont?
want to get rid of it. the lights shine maybe 9 feet infront of the car. how can i make it so they shine further? the headlights have recently been professionaly adjusted. how can i make them brighter and shine further?I have a 1996 Ford Contour GL and the headlight arent that bright! the lenses are clear as can be and i dont?
Your only upgrade is the Sylvania Sylverstar Plus lightbulbs, about $25 each at Kragens, cheaper if you buy the 2-pack.
You don't have an HID option. I have a '96 LX myself, and I'm in the same boat. Not much to adjust. Do as I did... get the Sylverstars.I have a 1996 Ford Contour GL and the headlight arent that bright! the lenses are clear as can be and i dont?
it could be a battery issue. do the lights get ALOT brighter when you rev up the motor? they will get a little brighter due to your altenator spinning up more amps but if they get alot brighter then your battery could be weak.
i would personally change the bulbs. my cars an 02 and they went dim last year.
when you replace them get sylvania Silver star bulbs or PIAA's bulbs. they are the proven brightest bulb for a non HID headlight.
but whatver you do if you go to a higher wattage bulb be carefull, you can fry stuff if you go too big!
have the actual bulbs ever been replaced?
headlight bulbs DO eventually dim over time. replacing them might be all you need to do
Cars that have Halogen headlights can dim over time - you should change every 3 to 5 years depending on how much you use them. They are 10 years old, just need new bulbs. Should only cost around $5-$10 for new bulbs.
wagner trueview headlights. let me know if you need them. :-)
you can read about them at federalmogul.com
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.

Go to any auto replacement store and find compatible bulbs for your model car, that run a higher wattage. Just like the light bulbs in your home, which run in higher watts for more life and brightness, the same applies to auto bulbs.
They are usually called halogen or xenon.
Other options may be an HID headlight kit, or fog lights. Good luck.
Replace the headlight assembly they do yellow. And replace the lights as well there will be a big difference in light output. Cost? Around 300$ plus labor. Had the 98' Mercury (Mystake) Mystique
you most likely have a bad ground somewhere for your head lights try and find a ground wire coming from the head lights and clean the wire and the area and put it back on you should have nice bright lights again
battery might be weak, check the wires from the lights, check the bulbs
haha! hilarious!! i have the SAME car and the SAME problem!! and it's only getting worse. for one, i know i need to wash my car badly, and i think that's why i've noticed that it's worse at the moment. my lenses however are horribly scratched. if you have already had them adjusted then you probably just need new bulbs.
Go to your local dealer or better yet, wal mart and get yourself some halogen bulb replacements. They're cheap and they'll help you see much further and better.
Well, there are different ways to answer your question. It may be the bulbs begginning to burn out. They will burn out quicker if you use them alot if you drive alot at night or just need your lights on alot. Getting them adjusted won't always fix your problem. I would go out and buy new headlights, but if you are wanting them to shine further and brighter, I would suggest neon headlights. They are very good headlights that can shine very far, but they can get pricy.cute hair

Best ways to clear up headlights on mustang?
they are foggy and i think its on the outside...
what are some cheap ways to clear them up n look like new?
its an 02 mustang with plastic headlight coversBest ways to clear up headlights on mustang?
Nothing short of replacing them will take care of that problem.Best ways to clear up headlights on mustang?
Tooth paste and a rag is the cheapest way but requires some time and elbow grease.
Buff them out with a professional buffing machine and polish. That should make them more clear, and get rid of the yellow/foggy tint film.
Check an auto parts store. Mothers make a product that is suppose to polish the haze off of them.cute hair

My headlights (plastic lenses) have become dull. Is there something I can use to clear them up?
I have a 2001 car. The lenses have become dull. If I rub them with water, they clear up. But as soon as it drys it is foggy again. I put new super bright bulbs in, but I got a ticket because they had a blue tint. Everything is illegal in California. So now I have the legal bright bulbs in. They are not much brighter then the old ones I had before. Is there something that I can rub on them to clear them up.My headlights (plastic lenses) have become dull. Is there something I can use to clear them up?
your local auto parts store should have a headlight lense cleaner. it should be relatively inexpensiveMy headlights (plastic lenses) have become dull. Is there something I can use to clear them up?
Many parts stores and department stores carry a headlight restorer kit.
It runs about $15, and consists of several sheets of super fine sandpaper and a bottle of plastic polish. Follow the directions and it will clear them right up.
I've used it on a few cars and it's worked well.
the plastic has dryed out..it needs some lube..use some plastic bumper/dash clear silicon..like Armour all protectant.
