Yellow head light lenses got ya down?? Read now!
So it's crazy, but it works. My girlfriends 2001 Dodge Stratus had a yellow film on her headlights and it was getting pretty hard to see out of them at night. I seen on Hot Rod tv that tooth paste takes that discoloration away. The discoloration is from the suns UV rays discoloring the clear coat that comes on the lenses. Now, a little background. A lot of the ford mustangs are BAD for this and it should make a huge different, because her lights were just as yellow as some mustangs I have seen. Other lights can get moisture behind the lense, if you notice moisture behind the lense after you do this little trick, you are pretty much left with two options, leave it alone, or replace the headlight. All you have to do is take any kind of tooth paste, I used Colgate. Put the tooth paste on the lense, use a decent amount just enough to coat a thin film across the headlight. Use a terry cloth and massage the tooth paste across the light vigorously in a circular motion and then allow a few min to set up. Once you see the tooth paste is dry take a wet wash cloth and wipe off the excess paste. You will be amazed by the outcome, I know I was. I never heard of that before and I was a slight sceptic, but seeing it first hand it is quite amazing. So if you are having problems with a slight discoloring film on your headlights try some tooth paste a little elbow grease and a cotton terry cloth, and you will be amazed.. Good luck and post before and after pictures.

that is soom great tech.The grit in the paste must be what is polishing them. I would have never thought to use tooth paste. You can find the head light kits for sale at wal mart, but they are way over priced.this seems like a great alternative.
