I have a 91 explorer xlt, and my headlights are not very bright, the lenses are oxidized and yellow. they are 20 years old, any suggestions on how to make them work better or should i just go find new headlight assemblys?

New headlight assemblys cost between 79.99 and 89.99 per side, and ony come with the clear lenses, no harnesses or bulbs. i dont want to spend the money if i dont have to

Is the damage on the outside inside or both?
I bought a cleaning kit at advance auto that cleans the outside nicely.
If its damage on the inside I would go with the new lens.

probably both.

Drop $20 on a refinishing kit at your local auto parts store. I have used it on my 98 Windstar with excellent results.

I agree. Try the lens cleaning kit 1st.

Then get back to us....

if u have some time u can polish the lights yourself, the kits the sell work well, i use a air polisher and 2000 grit sand paper most times.

I found a deal on e-bay

I used Flitz and the Flitz ball to do my lights.

use this metod tooth paste and a tooth brush then a buffer works great then wash with glass cleaner and u have clean lenses works ever time for me give it a try learned that from my old man years ago

Robert... i'd be wary of the 'ebay' headlight assemblies. i've heard/seen enough of these to be low quality and end up costing you more since you would be replacing them more often. Try the cleaning kit first. polish the crap out of it and see if makes a difference.
