i have the same problem with my r33 gtst i asked around for some one to clean it and they wanted $100 bucks to clean each headlight i told him to take a jump.

i also asked autobarn and they suggested some headlight cleaner for about $20 didnt really see a result.

You can use Brasso to polish, then finish with meguires plasticX.

Although if the problem is IN the plastic and not on the surface of either inside or outside and its faded to a yellow, then there's nothing you can do.

Polishing merely just removes the majority of the hazyness and the scratches that cause hazyness and makes it alot clearer.

It's kinda like glass thats made with tint inside it as part of glass. Rub all you want but its still gonna be there.

If your really concerned then buy new lights :dry:

I use meguirs (sp) cut and polish... worked a treat :)

if you want ot clean the inside, you have to take thel lights out, open them up (oven preheat to 200, turn OFF, 15 mins in, pry apart) then put them back together with some sikaflex...

yeh thats why i use polish/wax it keeps them clean for a while, i mean the dirt or stains if u like, dont stick to the surface, because the wax and polish doesnt allow it... i havent had to clean my headlights for over 3 months...

Yes the brand is mothers, Product plastic cleaner, ive been told the use it to remove light scratches from glass as well. super cheap sell it :D

Covered b4, search button is your friend. Well coz im nice here's the direct link. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=16255

Get some kerosene or turps and pour some into the light and shake around then tip out n let evaporate. Doing this is also best way to get an moisture stuck in there out. But if there is moisture in there u may a crack somewhere!

Sounds harsh but seriously this works...try it on some other clear plastic if you dont believe me.

- Wet some 2000 grit wet&dry sand paper and evenly sand up the surface of the headlight

- Clean it off and dry it completely.

- At this point you wil hate me because your light will be all faded and look like shit

- Whip out some standard automotive cut and polish and work it over the headlight

It should come up crystal clear.
