I have typical cruddy, yellowed white headlight surrounds on my repainted car and I want to restore them the best I can.
Painting them would be easy and look o.k. but I know it is kinda frowned upon by the purest because it is not original and I agree. Any known tricks out there ? |

I've been told that bleaching them with Clorox will take out some of the yellowing from age. Also same idea with the windshield washer bottle, rear trunk latch cups, etc. in the white or translucent plastic parts. But I've not tried it yet with mine, so can't attest to it's efficacy.
