Hids from eBay are hit and miss. Apparently Martin had a pair that worked great and another that flickered and died.

Make sure you get the right bulb. From memory, think that they are H1s. Install is easy.

I'll be doing my fogs and Chantelle's soon so if you want to duck by, contact me.

Hey mate I also had the yellowing effect on my headlights. I simply wet sanded my headlights lightly with rough sandpaper and progressed with the finest (used 5 different grades). I can't remember what type I used but between each sanding I attached a buffing element to an orbital sander and used some cutting compound.

The headlights look brand new. You can buy kits which are good. I did not use the uv spray to finish them off. Mainly because my vehicle is garaged. But it will yellow again down the track. If you do use the spray use an even coat and spray from a distance. You will get slight haze but can polish that out.

I have pics on my project thread I think.

After sanding I found that using polish brings them up that little more. I also wax my headlights as a uv protectant.

That's a lot for guys, will be trying this method, I had a turtle headlight polishing kit for my old car and I followed step by step but it never really worked , and for the hids I think I found a reputable company called "auto plutonium" hid kit with Parkers to suit, if this f**ks up ill just try and find the whitest bulb

Problem with white incandescent bulbs is that it loses light output to get a whiter light.

used armor all cut and polish with a spong. Apply it let it turn white then rub the guts out of it till all the whites gone, keep repeatibg till there brand new looking

Mother's Plastic Polish works a treat. Might need a few goes at it if they are real bad.

There not to bad but it's just a little noticeable, pretty keen to give this ago, thanks again for your input
