Yo guys,

My passenger side headlight lense has a bit of a yellowish tint to it compared to my new drivers side (thanks dan) so wondering if anyone just has the clear headlight lense from a passenger side headlight unit Smile.

Think its the inside dude? I've t cut it and no good, I think the actual plastic has discolored. I have some other metal polish that I use on my exhaust, do you think I should give that a whirl?

Yes mate, autosol?
But we tried both, and today the Meg's worked wonders for us!
Try your metal polish first and see what results you get.

Just used some metal polish and it's cleared the outside but it still looks very dull, I'm wondering if its the chrome inserts that have faded?

Just used megs metal polish on my faded/yellow/cloudy headlight plastic and they have come up like new.
It will take you forever and a day using it by hand, I got out the DA polisher and spent about ten mins on each headlight.
