#1 of 6 head light hazing by smplyb Jan 19, 2007 (7:45 am)
I have an 01' prelude and the head light lenses have started to get a yellowish hazing over them. I looked into just replaceing them, but that is very expensive about $700 for both. Does anyone know a way to get ride of the hazing. ie. polishing, sanding ect. ect. Replies to this message: smplyb (Feb 07, 2007 5:50 am) pro2513 (Feb 18, 2008 10:35 pm) smplyb (Feb 19, 2008 5:42 am)

Replying to: smplyb (Jan 19, 2007 7:45 am) Just wanted to let everyone know. I tried using meguiars plastic x to fix the hazing of my headlights. For the most part it worked amazingly. My headlights were really bad. It got rid of all the yellowing(turning completely clear) and cleaned up the film that I'm guessing is slowly disentagrating off my lenses. It didn't completely clear up the film, but I'm thinking it's just to far gone to repair. Anyway just wanted to let anyone know that may be intrested... Thanx for the advice Steve.

#4 of 6 High intensity headlamp bulbs.... by pro2513 Feb 18, 2008 (10:42 pm)
I have had multiple Sylvania Silverstars burn out on me so I gave up. Any advice. I have installed three sets and one has blown out after approx. two weeks of normal use. I don't touch the bulbs in any way at install. Replies to this message: shmang (Feb 04, 2009 6:31 pm)

Replying to: pro2513 (Feb 18, 2008 10:35 pm) Yes, it works. I used a 2000 grit sand paper, available at your auto parts store, wet sanded the lenses, and then used maguires plastic X rubbing compound. The results were amaizing, the lenses look brand new. I've only had to repeat the process once in the last year. Plastic X also work great DVD and CD's.

Replying to: pro2513 (Feb 18, 2008 10:42 pm) Well, the best way is to get a set from Ebay (Those Sylvania ones sucks). I bought 1 set and it lasted me for 1 year 4 month and 1 bulb burnt and got another set and it has been over 2 years and they are still good. Plus, I have one backup bulb.   They are cheap - like $12 per pair.
