Headlight cleaning or lens replacement
I have OEM HID headlights on my car and they are starting to look yellowish and faded compared to my brand new fog lights. Anyone know how to shine em up or do I have to buy new lenses?

Mine were REALLY bad. I didn't think I could do anything about them, they were so bad. One day I found:

for the price, I said...why not! Don't expect a reply to any emails to them, but they will ship your product out pretty quickly. In the end, I was able to get rid of all the yellowish oxidation and was able to make the plastic smooth once again. The instructions say to use 2000 grit wet sand paper if your headlamp lenses were too bad (I thought I would have to do this), but after one treatment of my lamps, I was able to get all the yellow out! Give it a try. I've also contacted several Hella dealers, and even the manufacturer about purchasing Xenon housing lenses. I'll let you know if I hear from them.
