Default Fix for Brown Headlights

Sounds wrong, but this works well. Spray with Aeroguard, leave 10 seconds and wipe clean with paper towel. Brand new again! : :

Tried acid, tried a buff, tried various household cleaners myself, all seemed to dull the lenses. Aeroguard just removes the little bugs easy and leaves light sparkling. I was as amazed as I sound!

I was sceptical, but tried it anyway, and while they are not dazzlingly brilliant, they are no longer yellowy-brown. So thanks for the cheapest fix to E series lights ever!

Agreed, E Series Gold! Just a quick one though, IIRC there are plastic headlights and glass ones, does this happen to just the plastic ones?

Yes. EF/EL are plastic, EA-ED are glass.
