Hey guys,

I was inquiring about a safe way to take out my lights and remove the yellowing overtime from the front of headlights. I wish to clear them to remove visibility.

Best,

Phillip

Hi Phillip,

Not necessary to remove the headlights.
There are some fine abrasive paste used for polishing which works.
However you need some form of protective coating after removal of the yellow coating otherwise the yellowing would reoccur within a short period of time.
