Default Yellowed Headlights....Fixed

My truck had the most yellowed headlights I have ever seen. Tried a few different chemicals but nothing ever got them clear. So today I bought the permatex headlight restoration kit at Pep Boys for about $10. All I can say is WOW. My headlights are actually clear now. I can't wait till it gets dark tonight so I can go for a drive and see how much of a difference it makes. So, for all those who are having a problem with yellowed headlights, give the permatex kit a try, it works very well.

Alright! About time someone gave this a try! I've been trying to get someone to use it on here for a while now [>:] Glad to hear it works! I'm not too surprised though...since Permatex usually puts out a product of great quality..no matter what that product is.

If I had a vehicle with yellowed lights, I would've tried it myself a long time ago [8D]

ill look around for that, mine dont look too bad, but itd be nice for them to match the clear corners.

what ive done in the past was use fine grit sand paper and billit polish. turned out great but took about an hour

That is basically what the kit comes with. There are a few different grits of wet sand paper going from 1000 to 2500. There is also a bottle of plastic polish and a flannel rag.
