    i do not understand.
    how can you claim cataract, when the lens assembly is clear?
    there's nothing else between the bulb and the outside...

    when my innova headlights' lens became un-clear, i initially attempted to clearify it using clear plastic lens cleaner, available in the mall auto accessories store. it did... but bumalik ang un-clear after a few weeks.
    in disgust, i just had the entire assembly replaced by a new, non-oem unit. it's still clear, after almost a year.

    Mix some baking soda and "white" toothpaste, not the colored or gel ones. Wet the headlight then apply. Use a toothbrush to scrub or your fingers to rub. It took me 30 minutes for it to come off, although not 100%. Rinse with water. You can repeat again if necessary. Just put sealant on your headlight after the final scrubbing.

    ^This hack or the 1 below....



    Once they've been touched, they'll never stay pre-defloration for long. Headlamp PPF can serve as chastity belt on virgins before they happen or right after the rubbing.[emoji4]

    ...but even if we can clean and polish the outer surface, there's still the inner surface...

    The yellow I've seen is on the outer. A combo of fine scratches from nonOCD washes(I prefer to use different mitts/Mfiber cloths for the body & lenses) & UV oxidation. Both will accelerate grime & contaminant buildup. Solar & lamp heat are catalysts for baking the buildup to a good cure onto them plastic lenses.
    I miss the good ol' glass-lenses. They never age.
