Default headlamps/headlights

hey everyone

does anybody here clean their headlights themselves? does it worth getting it done at some garage? if you guys dont do it yourselves then who do u guys take ur vehicles to for headlight cleaning?

both my cars have one headlight brighter than the other..i mean one headlight is nice and clean and the other is yellowish and dimmer. p.s. i drive an integra 96.

thanks

I can refinish them for you. Are you sure it's on the inside of the lens?

You'd have to remove the lights, pull apart the lens, wetsand, compound, polish and seal, then put the lamp back together. If it's the outside of the lens that is indeed the problematic area, PM me and I can do it for you.

Here's a set I did a while ago:

i saw your head lights and yes it is the inner area of the head light. just like what you did detach the head light from the front panel.

almost better off going to a junkyard or lookin into gettin a new set if its on the inside:P
if it was on the outside u could use this stuff called PlastiX or something by maguires its pretty good stuff!! n then wet sanding works great 2 lol
