i just blacked out my headlights and when i assembled everything back together and turned on my lights i get this yellowish green illumination coming from the headlights.. i have tried using polish to remove it but it does not seem to help...

any suggestions on how to get rid of it????

 

are you sure it is on the outside of the lenze? This happened to a guy on myg37.com and it was because he did not let the paint cure enough before he put them back together. the resulting off gassing caused the inside of the lense to yellow.

 

haha that is probably true.. i did not let it dry completely before i assembled everything.. do you no what the guy with the g37 did to get rid of the yellowish green from the headlights????

 

^You are going to have to take the lenses out and buff them lightly. Be very careful on the inner part of the lense as there is some type of protectant film on the inside.

 

Well the solution for him was to return it to the shop that did it and they just blught him new lights. Not sure if they junked the old ones or tried to save them. i will try and find out for ya

 

ive done many many sets of g hls..never had a prob with yellow hazing form painting..i guess it depends on the type of paint used..i use duplicolor flat..and usually reseal the hls within an hour after painting..best thing to do would be rebake and open..lightly clean the inside lense(use no harsh cleaners) there is a film on the inner lense thats a bit*h to completely remove once its started..if u need anything else feel free to pm me..ive delt with my fare share of hl problems..gl

 

what kind of cleaner should i use to clean the inside of the headlight??

thanks for the help guys

 

wrong.
try again.
do not even touch the inner side of lens. You will make it worse. When the inner side of lens is hazed, there is no turning back. i have warned you. If the hazing isn't that bad, just learn to live with it.

 

not true^^ the inner lense protector can be removed and buffed off leaving the lenses very clear...worse case senario..i wouldnt recommend cleaning inside lense with much force but if u have to, be very carefull.
