One of mine is rather new, having it replaced from a wreck. But the driver side is the original '98 lens. And is faded yellow pretty badly.
I've been working on it over the past couple weeks, playing with what works best. I went down to 1500-grit sandpaper - wet sanding. Followed with a quality (3M) rubbing compound. It worked to take most of the fade and yellow tinge away. But the lens isn't "Clear" at this point.
I was told to try some Mother's Mag Aluminum polish on the lenses. It's suppose to be abrasive enough, yet will still polish to a clear shine. Haven't tried that yet, but will let you know the results.
For a picture of what mine looks like after the wet-sanded 1500 grit, that was rubbing compounded, look at my "new grille" thread, the driver side is the one I worked on.
My yellow, faded lens was starting to take away from my light output!!! At least now the differernce is negligible. But I still want it clear too.
Until I can afford a set of Halo lenses or stock replacements. I'll be working on polishing them out.
