    If only we could see how discolored your plastic lamps are, nothing beats wet and dry carborundum sand paper starting with 400 of they're really bad and graduate from 600, 800, 1000, 1,200 right up to the finest grit you can find. Polish with rubbing compound then polishing compound.

    There is not enough abrasive in tooth paste to polish squat!

    3-M makes a great head-light polishing system.

    I have before. toothpaste worked for me. didn't look as perfect as scotty kilmer's video on youtube did lol. But they were definitely 80% better. I would use toothpaste if you have enough, and if you don't like the results, then go buy something at an auto parts store.
