Default Are your 98 up headlights yellow & dingy?

Just pulled my headlights out and wetsanded them with 1200 grit wet sandpaper and buffed them out with Meguirs diamond cut compound.WOW!! what a difference makes the car look 5yrs newer! Wish I had taken before & after pics. Just thought I'd pass this tip on, sure beats buying new ones!

You have to post some pics, I've been wondering how to fix this problem myself without spending 3 Benjamins per!

I'm sure the plastic polish helps. I bought this car used and the lights were dingy and yellow already, guess the harsh texas sun took its toll on them. Just thought this tip would help those that did'nt want to part with their hard earned money to buy new ones! That cash could be spent on other mods or what have you.
