So tonight i came across some info that tootpaste could clear up foggy headlights. Since my headlights didnt light the road up for sh*t i decided i would try and.damn what a diffrence, it was like they were brandnew. Has anyone tried it? If not give it a try before buying some expensive ass stuff that wont work. I know you all have toothpaste unless you are a filthy mother effer
Lol

It works OK! Be prepared to do that once a week or so cause it will change yellow again quick

Blue magic headlight cleaner works really good, and its only 8 bucks or so

Did you use Colgate or crest?

They will stay clean if you shoot em with some clear after you get them looking good. The fogging is the plastic reacting with the atmosphere and oxidizing.

Unless you're brushing those lenses like your teeth they're going to turn back yellow just like your teeth.
