Finaly got tiered of the yellowed headlights and did a little wet sanding and polishing to get them new looking again!

Products used.

Turned out pretty good after only about 30min of work. And it only cost like $30 in stuff from autozone.

It made the car look so much better from the front. So when i put the oem fogs and the front lip on it will look nice and clean!

? Has any one ever taken apart their headlight? Is it very hard to do? I need to get some water out of the one light.

pretty easily done with the rsx headlights so i would guess it goes the same for a civic headlight just be careful that you dont brake the lil clips

I'm thinking the clips are broken already, due to headlight bounce. But thanks for the info!
