Well i finally got fed up with my bright yellow headlights and while inspecting them found that they origionally had a clearcoat applied to them that was now worn and detieriorating. It appeared to me that it was the clear coat that was yellowing so i decided to do some wetsanding - ive done this before but it didnt do any good. Well i sanded the outside of the lense till i had removed all traces of clear coat and the surface of the plastic. I used 800 grit followed by a 1000 grit app. Afterwerds the lights were a light frosted white on the lense. Then i applied several thin coats (6) of clear coat to the lights. They are now crystal clear :D i am very happy with the results - total time spent was 1.5 hours.
