depends how bad they are, when i first bought my car they weren't too bad, but noticeably yellow. i just use carnauba wax from mothers, i got a clay bar, small bottle of wax and instant detailer for around $30 from autopro, dont sand them unless they're really really bad and clearcoat them or something, i did this on my mazda and they turn yellow every few days now. heres a pic of the wax i use (on the left) vdjspf.jpg on the bottle is says 'removes oxidation' which is that yellow shit. this stuffs pretty good, i wash my car once a week and i only have to wax my lights once a month, all u need is one quick coat which takes 2 minutes.

heres pics when i 1st got my car

PM N1GTR he was having a group buy thing for head light reconditioning that was ment to run until june i think but had to shut it down early... it was going to be like $140 ish i think from memory but was a pro job and would take about a week in sydney.. he could prolly give u a number to fix it up for good. or i use mothers plastic polish works a treat and lasts about a month or so

GlassyLite!! i bought it at a car show last year as a last resort before i bought new headlights.

mine were as yellow as an old mans teeth that smoked a pack a day for at least 30 years. then come up very clear.

i don't really have any before or afters but highly recommend!

so do you take out the headlight and clean the inside or just scrub the sh*ts on the outside?

With GlassyLite its like a cut n polish but for your head lights. It comes with real fine sandpaper to get out the real cruddy stuff which you sand with running water on it, then apply cleaner and shine followed by the sealant. all done on the exterior!

hey guys,

what can i buy from where for how much and what would i have to do with it to clean the gross murky look of my headlights

thanks,

Andrew

check this out as an idea.....the 2nd pic is after glassylight on the drivers side only b4 they put on the crystallite (tint)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
