YELLOW HEADLIGHTS

 



I have a twelve-year-old Toyota RAV-4. I have maintained it in excellent condition, the odometer shows only seventy-six thousand original miles.  Over the past couple of years, the only problem I have had is the yellowing of the headlights, making night driving difficult, especially in rain or snow.


I checked YOUTUBE for information on headlight restoration.  The kit I settled on was Griots Ceramic Headlight Restoration.  It was my choice because it did not require an electric drill to sand the lens.    All sanding was done by hand.


I took my lawn chair out and spent about fifteen minutes restoring each headlight.  I am in my eighties and found this kit simple and easy – anyone can do it with no special tools required.


I don’t advertise for any company, but my experience with this product was good, and the outcome was excellent.    

 




I failed to take a ‘before picture’, but this is the result.  


This is the YOUTUBE site I accessed that led me to choose this product.

  1. Mine were so bad I couldn't drive at all so David got the same kit and my headlights are clear as a bell. I wasn't about to spend $4oo per headlight cover. Ne also did his truck. It looks nice and we can see our head lights at night again.

  2. Way to go! My Toyota Yaris is 11 years old and just coming up to 100,000 kilometres which is apparently about 61,000 miles.
