Just cleaned my headlights

Man were my headlights yellow seesh. Just cleaned then and they look like new and i was going to buy new ones lol. If anyone is interested on the products I used they are blue magics headlight restoration and meguiars plastix. So if you guys want to keep your headlights looking new use those products and you will not be disappointed.

I couldnt find those products, but I used a headlight restoration kit I found at pep boys for about $10. Its just a little buffer pad you attach to a drill. Spray a little water and buff. They look significantly better, but i still want to try something else, see if they look even better. Where did you guys find this blue magic/plastix stuff? Auto zone and Pep boys didnt have it...

I got these both at a local autozone. They both work extremely well. I would check any place that carries car care products.

Here is mine before:


And after wetsand, polish, I also painted the interior housing black:

Krylon fusion plastic paint. Color: black, or you can try some other color to be different. I just think black looked best. I got the paint at autozone, so you should be able to find it at pretty much any car part place. There should also be write up on this site somewhere.
