How do I clean my Gen 3 Head Lights? It's becoming dull and is a little bit yellow and kinda making my HID bulbs look dull. How would I clean it to make it look new?

You can try buffing them with toothpaste or a real fine cutting compound.

A little OT, but does anybody make clear headlight lenses for the 3rdGEN ?

I think someone commented that the Touring Camry picture I posted (and others have) on the CamryMan.org forum didn't have projection lights, it just had clear lenses.

So where can they be found - in OZ or Japan ?

Just wondering...

The stock headlights are "clear lenses". How much clearer do you want it to be? You'd have to strip off the cover! hehe

But I still am up for trying a retrofit to get projector headlights...

The headlight lenses on my 92' Camry are dull and yellowish.. they dont look clear anymore either

buffing out with tooth paste? lol

how do you take the lenses off to clean them for starters? i looked in the repair manual but no dice..

[Pimpinda93camry]

they should have latches like on the air box that will separate the housing from the lens

i just cleaned my gen 3 headlights b/c one of them was getting yellowish so i went to my local auto parts store and picked up Meguiars(sp?) plastX. basically a plastic cleaner.. worked wonders! i have the silverstar conversion on there and its nice and bright...

[joeho]

if you can get the headlights off i assume you can pour some carb cleaner into the bulb section. mine is really ugly and dull too. its also making it hard for me to see at night

holy thread revival batman

[eyeball96]

This thread is older than dirt!..I used fine polishing compound, and then followed that with mothers plastic polish, did OK...You'll have to rub alot tho!

[Muddassir]

hey eyeball96

After that polish, does it become like the one posted by DarkMaskyr?

[eyeball96]

Hell! I wish it did..but no...it did get rid of alot of yellow tho!

[Muddassir]

lol

Well, that shold be good enough for an old car. There is no point in showing too much bright light when the rest of the body scream about the truth that it is not a 2007 model..
