Yellowing headlights?

[jessv3]

Ive got a Mkv GTI 06 model which is not garaged most days and sits in the sun at work. Ive noticed the head lights are looking slightly yellow or misty. Anyone else noticed this? Any easy fix without having to buy new headlights?

Check out the detailing section of this forum or the mightycarmods headlight restoration videos on youtube.

Much cheaper than new headlights.

The other alternative is getting a professional detailer to do it.

Maybe avoid the urine solution!

just spoke to a mobile car detailer and was quoted $40 per headlight, including uv protection afterwards. seems like a bargain

you can get a marine product called plexus for clear plastic protection and cleaning, apparently also used on aircraft plastic windows. which was a must for cleaning the clear plastic window on my last car, also meguiars do a couple of plastic polishes which fix this sort of thing will cost you $40 to buy all three products and will last years.
