Oxidized headlights

87WhiteStang1 · Feb 9, 2008

my headlight fixtures on my 87 gt are very fogged up and yellow looking... I know i need to get some new ones but does anyone know a way to clean them up some in the meantime?

You can try to look for a solution on Yahoo! or something. Your town also probably has a business that will clear them up and make them white again. Mine does.

I use Brasso metal polish that I got from Wal Mart, its nothing but tarnish so just polish them up like silver, it works great. I got that tip from my local newspaper!

To keep it form coming back, spray some clearcoat over the headlights. I did this on my Escort (I did a lot of experiments on this car) and they never yellowed again.

Probably less than:

"What exhaust should I run"

OR

"What wheels should I run"

OR

"Do 1 piece headlights look good"
