Yellowed Over Headlights - Replacement options

lryfer · Friday at 02:18 PM

I have a 2006 Silverado that has the headlights yellowed pretty good and not shining through very well. Replaced a year or so ago with aftermarket from Amazon and wouldnt adjust so returned them.

With this said what can i get a good quality set for headlights and parking lights to match OEM style look with regular bulbs 9005/9006?

Truck is used for fishing and hauling stuff so not driving all the time daily like going to work etc.

I see TYC halogen lights but i want the OEM lights not LED etc. Not good at modifying things from original to go LED. Or is there a plug and play LED set out there a good quality to install plug and play.

Tried the cleaning and stuff to clear up but yellowed again quickly.

Appreciate the feedback.

I had that issue on my 2011. I used one of those headlight restoration kits that take out the yellow cloudy look caused by the sun. I don't recall for certain what brand I used (I'm thinking it was 3M) but it was one of the better ones, about $20 (don't go cheap). That was 3 years ago and there is no difference today. But, my truck is garaged. If I have to do it again I'll be using the Cerakote brand. This is easy to do. Just follow directions on the bottle exactly as it says.
