Cleaning headlights - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

How do you take the lense off the headlights to clean them?  My headlights are really dingy and bring down what otherwise is an aestetically perfect car (in my opinion).

Is it dirt? or is it just the plastic turning kindof a yellowish color because it's old??

If you need to remove them let us know if you have a s13 or s14.

Is it the inside or the outside of the lens that gets yellow?  Mine are looking not so clear also, but I thought I had to remove the lens itself and risk getting moisture in there in the future.

it's a S14 and its just a yellow tinge.
