I cleaned my headlights today. They were pretty yellow, 10 years of yellowing, but i cleaned them up today with some toothpaste. They look 100 times better. I'll post some pics tomrrow, its to late to now.

yea, in the future, i'm gonna get clear headlights, but for now i figured i'd just clean what i had, i'll prolly work on the drivers side a little bit more the next time i wash my car. I need to do a lot of cleanup on my car...the previous owner did not keep it up at all. and i dont have any time really to work on it

I just bought some Maguiers Plastic Polish... I'll post some before and after pics when I get time to "clean mine up".

It's suppose to fill in the scratches and bond it all back to new. We'll see. LOL

Did you use wetdry sandpaper to buff the headlights or what method did you use to get them clean again?

I used a clean cloth and some toothpaste, and some elbow grease. I would rub some in, and rinse it off with the hose, and then start all over again. It doesnt take but a few times per light to get them looking good.
