Default yellow lights

my first gen neons headlights have a yellow film over them. i tried sanding a little but that just seems to scratch them. i want to but blue or bright white bulbs in but with the yellow will it even make a difference. if anyone has an answer or knows a way to fix this problem hook a brother up

you'll need to get new lenses. they etch pretty badly over time but there are some abrasive polishes that can clear it up a little. yes a different set of bulbs will make a difference. i have super blue bulbs in mine even with the hazy lenses and i can see better at night. best bet is to buy some after market headlights though.

You can wet sand the headlights and that will get rid of the yellowing. I'll try and dig up that how-to for you.
