try sanding it with 1500 grade wet rub sand paper, get it smooth and either buff it(softly) or reclear it.

is the yellow form inside or outside?

[La0styl3r]

the yellow is mainly in the inside...

yellow = jdm

rofl.




anyways,
best way is to take off your light and buff the cover from inside (may require some heat to remove the headlight cover/casing.

i remember my brother removing his rear tailights, didnt seem too hard, but cant say anything there.

is hard, but not impossible,

you need to took the hold headlight housing off. assuming that you don't need to remove the front bumper to do that, but look likely you need!

than flash some soap water or what ever that will have strong cleaning effect, inside the headlight housing, from the hole that you used to insert the bulb, than shake it well. than flash it some clean water, than use a hair dryer to blow the headlight housing and make sure all the water are dry out. see if this could help.....

^^ lol or just put the headlight in the oven, seperate the clear plastic and the housing and sand it with 1500 wet sand paper then use cut compound for further sanding and finish it off with plastic polish.
then seal all back together again.

could be headlight settings. yellow light means lowest beam, theres normal beam and then theres high beam ( will show a signal)
i know this coz i had that similar problem myself, and i thought i had a constant yellow beam. but its the settings on your light switch.

he is talking about his headlights have accumulated a build up of yellow haze. like this :

try wet sanding first from 800grit to 3000 then buff it and use plastic x as well. will take some time but you got nothing to lose =)

If its on the inside then yeah you will have to bake your lights like we do wen we diy our ek ones. =P open them up and then remove the haze on the inside if you are sure its on the inside =P . I thought mine was but its the outside.

so stop ur jibber jabber and get to work mate! get those lights out

k thnx bye lol
