Can anyone please tell me how to clean the yellow tinge looking crap off the exterior of the headlight lens?

A tinting place used 'fly spray' on my mums car, that worked, but not on my set of lens!!!

Anything else works or how to get them cleaned/restored to near new again?

Because the eBay Angel Eyes (aftermarket ones) only fit the Coupe models!!!

usually the yellow tinge can be sanded off with fine sandpaper and then some plastic polish.

I'm currently trying to clear my clear cam cover using hydrogen peroxide (found a guide online) will let you know if it works as it should also apply.

Used that guide years back, and actually did the procedure on headlights that were previously "fixed" using can spray painted clear yesterday. OP look no further

What difference from the INVISION compared to the GLASSYLITE?

Anyone here used both of these products & have their own views & experiences on this???

I do headlight restorations all the time and for an off the shelf kit, the INVISION one is probably the best one out there as it gives you everything you need, and most importantly a proper UV coating to go over the headlights.

If something proper isn't put on the headlights they will quickly start to go yellow again.

The best process is multiple stages of wet sanding to remove all imperfections from the headlight, multiple stages of machine polishing to remove the sanding marks and then applying a properly bonding UV agent (I use Gyeon Trim).

Good luck :)

I got the Meguiar's Headlight Lens Correction Kit from Repco $65.

Includes the Sand Papers #1-#4.

Buffing Cloth with Polish & the UV Protectant Sealant Polish as the final stage! :)

I done mine in about 1:30hrs.

Could of been done neater with much more time as you say 'machine buffing' to remove all sanding marks from the previous user!!!

Here are the pix before & after of mine.

Road actually looks brighter now after the procedure with the HID's fitted ;)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
