Hi there,

My EF headlights are cloudy/oxidised/yellowed

does anyone have any tips? Should I chuck something like http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_odkw=hid+kit+ef&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xhid+kit+ford+ef.TRS0&_nkw=hid+kit+ford+ef&_sacat=0 in it?

Does the toothpaste cleaning trick work?
My beams are so dull something has to be done, but I don't want to take out the bar.

Clean the headlights.

Fitting HID while the lenses are stuffed will be a waste of time.

Toothpaste does work but if they are real yellow use the above method first.

or you can purchase a redtoration kit like these

They may be that far gone that they may need to be replaced.

They'd be really helpful right about now (popping out the indicators)

I've found the Meguiares kit to be the best of them
