R34 Gtr Headlights

[TommyR34]

What to do to keep them looking new?

[funkymonkey]

don't drive your car?

only thing you could do is maybe get moulded perspex headlight guards made for em so the glass doesn't get chipped.

...or are you asking about the polycarbonate going yellow?

...or perhaps protection from fine scratches?

[TommyR34]

More protection from scratches/stone chips

[LUKE R34]

just polish them every year and they should be sweet

[GTR-N1]

And "Glassylite" for UV protection if required.

...but for stone chips, are you doing country driving?

If not, try not to follow too close behind the car in front, lest you also risk a cracked windscreen.

If yes, then funkymonkey had the right solution.

The headlights on my R34 were all yellow and faded so here is what i did -

• I got some very smooth sandpaper and soaked it in warm water for about 30mins.
• Wet the headlights and rub each headlight down with the wet sandpaper.
• Each headlight will go all murky as you are scratching the surface to remove the fading etc.
• Used an electric orbital buffer and lots of plastic polish.
• Headlights came out like brand new.
