Now I've seen how to clean the GS and the SC headlights.. But how do you clean the 1st gen LS headlights?

I have to edit the bit on corner scratch removal but otherwise the how-to is fine.

Retrodrive,

When you say that headlights get dirty as a result of being kept outside, do you mean as opposed to being kept in the garage? If that's the case, why do they get hazzy.... because I also have noticed that cars whose paint looks faint and dull usually have these hazzy headlights. My headlights, look almost brand new and very clean, so according to you, it must have to do with the fact that it's always been garaged (or could have to do with the fact that it has 75000 miles on it?),,, interesting observation on your part

Persian: That sander is just a regular dremmel. That bit comes with it. There are some howto's that are not linked to the site yet since I am redesigning the whole thing for easier navigation. It is staying free with no banners though.

Azari: I have noticed it on my car and some of my friend's cars. You park it outside and the clear look of your headlights just goes away in few month. I am pretty sure that it has to do something with our local weather in san diego. We have very cold nights and very hot days. I would imagine that garaged car is affected a lot less by temperatures and humidity.
