    Question Help cleaning my headlight

    Alright boys my left headlight is driving me insane, I've already tried PlastX witch seemed to help somewhat, however the next day it looks pretty much the exact same. How should I go about dealing with this?

    I have found the best way to clean and shine the plastic lenses is with regular toothpaste. Rub it on in a circular motion, leave it 10 minutes, then wipe it off with a micro fiber towel. You'll be amazed.

    I like the 3m headlight kit that works with a cordless drill. BMW has very hard headlights, they wear out the sandpaper pretty quick.

    I know I'm late to this... But I did a buddy's fogged/yellowed lights with the sylvania kit you can buy at AutoZone, and it honestly blew my mind how well it worked. They looked brand new, and they warranty them against it coming back. For like 17 bucks, can't beat it.
