1. My headlights are very cloudy/foggy I tried using some steel wool but it did not help. How can I clean them up?

2. I need to adjust the headlights, one points up higher than the other. It is missing a couple of the 'tits' used to adjust them

I've been wondering the same thing actually. I've heard nail polish remover will work, and I plan to try that after it stops raining. Anyone have a good idea for this?

Wet sand with 600, 1000, and 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper. Then polish with Mothers mag polish (white paste). They will look much better.

Brass polish helps a little too. Took some of the yellow off my old lights.

the sanding works but takes forever. take your time and remove all of the yellow buildup or it will be back soon. A buffing wheel from sears did the trick on mine in about 3 mins. $10 three different wheels, and buffing compounds for different materials. good luck, I would just get new ones though.

All that helps, and the lights will look better, but only for a short time. You'll need to do that over and over. I'd get a new set if you could.
