    I used a lemon with baking soda. The citric acid works great on the lenses. If they are really bad, do it 2-3 times.

      Actually, if you had really yellowed headlights, if you hit it with this a couple times, then do the proper restoration (with a 2k clear to finish), it helps save on your sand paper expenses. Not much, but a little bit.

    If the clear coat is not too bad. It may work. But temporarily. You have to sand down the old clear with 600 grit, then 1000 grit, then 1500. Spray some 2k clear and then buff it and finally polish it.

      @@donniev8181 I'm not focusing on what it takes to get them clearer, that depends on how oxidized they are, I'm talking about keeping them clear once the clear coat is broken down or gone. My car is from 2013, but it's always been outside in the Texas and Oklahoma sun. Sanding is the only way they'll be clear again and the clear coat that's left will get removed.

    Get a polishing pad with a backing plate as well as a cordless drill and some clear plastic polish. Works even better if you wet sand it with 800, 1000, then 2000 grit sandpaper as well as wiping off the headlights after each stage of sanding. After all of that. Spray it twice with headlight coating from meguiars and it will last up to a year without fogging or oxidizing!
