Ok I know that I can't be the only one stuck with discoloring headlights. It looks like I have a nasty film on them, can't get it off.

Does anyone have a fix for this? Or do I just buy new lens/headlights?
I would like to have my headlights nice and clear. and put some HIDs in later but not till I have nice clean looking ones.

Any one have a link to new lens? or a DIY repair on them?

 

go to your local auto parts store they should have a plastic headlight restoration kit. Mine cost like $15 and it just has 1000 1500 2000 and 2500 grit sandpaper a cloth and polishing fluid. It didn't work 100% right away but a few more applications of it got it looking a lot better.

 

Here is an excellent article on the process:

Good luck.

 

All good points listed above. I also use Meguires Platic X with my buffer. Its works wonders!

OOOO

 

that seems like it would work a lot better then my kit did....maybe I will try that today because the lamp is still not 100%

 

Plast-X is your friend!!!

 

Perfect, that is just what I was looking for.

Now if I can just find the time.. [:@]

 

Anyone try Flitz? I heard good things about it but don't know about using it on the Audi lenses.

 

I used a wet sand 2000 grit on my lenses and finished with the buffer/McGuires. I buffed the hell out of them and the outcome is spectacular.

OOOO

 

bump because damn this works!
