  • More Transparent Headlamps!!

    I hate how our cars look with opaque headlamps with the pass of the time. Is there a way to luster them and take away that whitish look?

    Sand them down gradually until you're wetsanding with a superfine (~2000 grit) paper. Then there are many plastic polishing kits available, or I've used standard car polishing/buffing componds to bring out a shine.

    Here is an example of a good polishing kit:

      Is it look more or less like new after buffing?

        i had the same problem and did this to them earlier this week. it took about 3-4 hours, but the results are worth it. they look like new.

              I have already visited the faq: nothing about the question I ask. What do you want to tell me?

                in the FAQ sticky theres a " polish your headlights" or something link. which takes you to a write up on ls1tech.
