Yellow color coming from driver headlight.. best way to clean it??
My passenger headlight is clean and puts out nice clean light, but the driver side has a yellow tint to it.
I have tried cleaning it with window cleaner and soad to no avail.
Any good suggestions..
I have even taken it apart and cleaned it

That yellowing is due to the plastic "weathering" over time. What you will need to get is a plastic cleaner and polish to take that out. In your case, I would recommend Renovo, Meguiar's, or 3M and then follow up with Plexus.

BTW I looked in the stickies up top.. I do not see it.. OR did I miss it?
If it is not there it might be worth putting there..

Anyway I'll find it

Sorry if I'm highjacking this thread a bit, but I think it's related enough to get in here
My driver's lamp AND both foglamps look cloudy as well. However, I'm not sure if there are scratches as well on the lens. Are those scratches removable with the products mentioned above or do I have to use "other" methods.
Thanks.

I don't think this would cause "yellowing" but sometimes headlamps and foglamps accumulate dirt/dust inside them, making them look all hazy and dull. I can't remember if I read about it here or another site, but I remember someone describing how he removed the whole housing out and swished some cleaner and then some alcohol around in it (the alcohol helps dry it out too).

Usually Autoglym Glass Polish is easiest to find. At least, in my area. Zaino will have to come from a Zaino dealer. AG on the other hand can sometimes be found at glass shops as well as auto parts shops I discovered.
