Did the chrome polish on yellow lenses trick last night...

and OMG MAN !!! Made them look like brand new !
I let the paste dry real good before buffing it back off and repeated about 4 times. Now they look like brand new clear lenses and I am getting bright'ed from other drivers thinking I have my bright lights on LOL !

Yes the chrome polish trick works really well. but its only good for about a year before the plastic starts to turn yellow again(damn sun!) in any case you can repeat the process for many years without any trouble.

I didn't even know chrome polish worked. I'll have to try that to get my one factory headlight to match the new one.

I've been using a plastic polish on mine, though if they're reeeaaallly hazed over, I can see where something a little more aggressive might work better.

If people think you have your brights on though, I'd just about guarantee that it's because your lights are not aimed properly (aimed too high). When they were all hazed up they just weren't bright enough for anyone to notice.

ive sanded em with 1000 grit and then applied some paint rubbing compound and it worked great.

Has anyone noticed that the passenger side headlamp dulls and yellows more than the drivers side one? I've seen so many 95-97 Rangers where this is true.

My 98 Corolla headlamps are way worse than my ranger. I need to polish them 3-4 times/year.
