Plastic lense is oxidized...

I sodl my 91 Toyota to a fellow who had purchased new headlights and they were clear and had halogen lights... I'm hoping these same akind of lights are available for the 1999.

Thanks for the reply...

Try Mother's Plastic Polish (got mine at PEP Boys).

If you go to WalMart and get some Kit polishing compound it will clean it right up like nearly new. (take oxidation right off) It is in a yellow bottle and it works great for this. My duaghter got a 97 saturn a while back the one light was oxidized badly, used the Kit on it and it looks great now.

Toothpaste and a soft brush worked well with my dulled-out headlight lenses.

Group: Thanks for the tip... Probably saved me some cash..cause I was going to replace those lenses if I could find replacements.

Yes, but do you floss the edges?

Nick,

Had the same issue on my 94 Camry....while more expensive than the polishing route (hey....I'm lazy !), I found replacement lights on eBay...just another option !

Another product that works GREAT is "Blue Magic" Metal and Aluminum polish. It's pretty cheap and the directions say it's safe for fiberglass and plastic. I buy it at Wal-Mart. On my new Tundra, I use Meguire's NXT on the paint, plus I put a coat on the headlights and taillights every other waxing. It helps to keep them from oxidizing. Dave
