RE: Any way to get the yellow out of the stock headlights??
i had that problem to, untill today. i was gonna buy new lights and all, but someone in class suggested a get something and buff it out. i figured why not, n picked up that "flitz" thing from autozone, it came w. some kinda tube of pollish or someting. used that, and now they look great. it was $40ish, and worth it imo.

i used a buffer and some metal polishing cream. Worked mildy on mine, i could have done better i know. But i was just half assing it because i was bored. Im buying new ones anyways. for the hassle of buffing them, just buy some cheap ones off of ebay or whatever.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I'll have to try that Flitz stuff. A few months back, I used Maguire's Scratch X, by hand, and had success commensurate with the amount of effort I put into it. The more I rubbed, the better they looked. They're still yellow, but look 70% better than before. Don't do it my way though, be smart and use a buffer.

the outside yes. i also am going to take the lens off(anyone wanna tell me how to, so im not wingin it?) and do the inside of one of them... it looks like the inside is bad too. and i jsut want to get these good enough to pass MD inspection, so i can get rid of this temp tag and get it tag taged so i can put a vanity tag on it.
