Finally got around to cleaning up my headlights a little bit.
It's not perfect, but Blue Magic worked well for a driveway job using just a rag.

This is before/after, by the way.

It is supposed to only be one photo, you can see that on the left half of the light the haze has been cleared off very well.

Thanks again for the tip man, it worked out great. Now would you recommend buying Lamin-X/Headlight Armor, or the Blue Magic Headlight Lens Sealer to protect it?

If i get the tint/film then i would get the light smoke ones.

Your call. I have headlight Armor on my '08 Fit. Can't really tell but I'm hoping in the long run it'll slow down if not prevent the yellow hazing over time. It wasn't easy to put on coz of the contour and the big surface area of the headlights. But I figure put them on now while the plastic is still fairly clear and before it gets more scratches. I put on the yellow film on the fogs. So we'll see over time. Sorry but I'm not a fan of smoked lights. Personal choice.

I used Blue Magic on my older '02 Rex and it worked fine. The yellow hazing didn't really become noticeable till probably a couple years ago (bought it new) so it really takes a while.

'08s have that extra groove on the headlight, don't they? '07s do not, i think so that makes it a bit easier. Again, huge thanks for the tips.

I think the 07 and 08s have the exact same headlights.

Headlight film does help prevent yellowing/oxidation over time. It's evident on my headlights.

I have heard that halogen bulbs tend to burn Lamin-X film, though. Is that true for Lamin-X, for all films, or false overall?

Can't tell you anything about Lamin-X. No burns with my Headlight Armor films though a few members here had fog light burns earlier, Headlight Armor sent them replacements.

I think the film only burns if you put let's say super high wattage bulbs in your housing. Think of plastic when applied with too much heat.
