Headlights Yellowish Smoke On Plastic

Recommended Posts

I have one headlight unit (front offside) that has a slight yellowish tint to the plastic casing near the top, compared to a perfectly clear one on the nearside. I was wondering if anyone else has this, whether it is just condensation I can dry out, or whether you have another way of restoring it.

If all else fails, does anyone know how much I can get a new one for, or any decent 3rd party units (possibly angel eyes) that will go nicely with a silver.

PS It is a 2000 reg

No idea, but to mask it, you could look at 'light-brows'...? I don't like 'em personally, but it'll mask your problem, and you can paint them whatever colour you need to.

Don't like brows and the yellow goes down to the light

If the browning is on the inside the only way would be to bake them open, any try some megs, plastic X.

If that doesnt work you can try 2000+ wet and dry (very lightly) then some acrylic polish.

I had some lights from a scrappy which were very misty, after i opened them up and spent a good hour polishing them they came up very nicely.

Although easiest option would be to replace them with a fresh set.... you can get them for about £30 from a scrappy for a good condition set.
