Yeah, get some yellow rockblocker or something. Paint seems kind of sketch on your lights.

Thats some nice mustard yellow u got there. I'm supprised no one has been rough on you. If they are actual glass...just paint thinner or stipper will be fine. If they are plasitc you need to sand them down, see the headlight repair thread.

I got some auto Tal-Strip on my friend's face one time. We were using it to eat grease and dirt off of a K frame. He leaned into it. Burned him pretty bad. I was using it and getting it on my bare hands with only minor burns resulting. Its some dangerous shtuf for sure.

Feerst.
Once you get the lenses all cleaned off pick up some of the lamin-x with the yellow tint. Not only will it make the lights yellow it will also protect the lenses.
And not to mention it won't look like Mcdonalds sponsored your car. Tongue

Good luck

Yeah I thought about laminx film but didnt go for it. Also thought about yellow bulbs. Yeah live and learn I guess.

It doesn't look bad at night its yellow but at the lenses it looks like the moon.

Welp I fixed the problem and it took me an hour. Now they are clear. Do you guys suggest yellow bulbs or Lamin-x?

Yellow bulbs really won't change the color of the lense unless lit up. So get some yellow lamin-x and then yellow bulbs if you still aren't happy.
