Cloudy/Yellowish headlight lenses.

MountaineerTom · February 15, 2001

Does anyone know what you can do to clear up cloudy/yellowish looking headlight lenses? They are on my '88 Beretta with about 180,000 miles. (I say about because the odometer is broken. It quit working a little past 173,000 miles.) I really don't want to buy new ones since it has so many miles and I can't find any at a jusnk yard thet are in much better condition. I tought I read an article once about sanding or polishing them or something like that.

Any advise is appreciated.

I ended up trying out some polishing compound for clear coated vehicles, that I found in my shed. It made a HUGH difference. They are alot clearer looking and brighter too.

TOM, the guy's over at www.cvnet.com were chasing this problem avile back and they did come up with a remedy.I'm a IMPALA SS owner and i'm reading about the mercury maurader on their site,which in turn caught my eye on the yellow lens problem.By the way they still won't come close to wiping my a$$ with their Gimmick mobile! SMALL BLOCK CHEV'S RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
