Two questions for y'all:

1) I have a 94 GS300, love the car, but the plastic on the headlights is starting to yellow over, and I was wondering if there was any cleaner or a good method to clean off that stuff. I've tried some of the Meguiar's Plastic Cleaner and it looks nice for about two days, and it slowly comes back.

And,

2) Does anyone know good websites for where I could buy clear lights for a 94 GS300? If I can't clean the plastic, I'd like to buy new covers (and also replace the yellow ones on the side with clear)

Thanks,
Silmeron

try some rubbing compound if you have any around. that thing works wonders sometimes. i had some spots on my headlights and NOTHING took it off. i even tried some stuff that i felt was so strong that it might warp the plastic. i then tried some rubbing compound and it got rid of the spots and made it like new.

just put very little on a piece of cloth and rub it into one area for a while. then move back and compare that area with the rest and see the difference. if it works, continue on the whole headlight cover.

im not sure exactly how it works or if it could damage your plastic so check up on that first, cuz i dont wanna take responsibility. but it worked great on mine.

good luck,
allen
