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 ;)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
