A mom wowed her friends with the simple trick she used to completely transform her old yellow headlights in five minutes. The car enthusiast used an inexpensive product, Headlight Restore Wipes, to deoxidize the headlights and protect them for the future
The mother shared her cars with a popular Facebook group before and after the transformation.
The $25 package includes two wipes, one to detox the headlights and one to prevent UV rays from yellowing again (pictured).
“Something a little different, but still so satisfying! I restored the heavily oxidized and yellowed headlights of my Toyota Kluger,” she said.
‘Took all of 5 minutes for me and lasts up to 6 months.’
Headlights will cloud over time when exposed to UV light, which oxidizes acrylic headlights and turns them yellow.
The mother explained that the package included two wipes, one to detox the headlights and one to prevent UV rays from yellowing again.
With the first cloth she wiped the outside of the lamp, then dried it with a paper towel and used the second cloth to protect the cleaned headlight.
“Hopefully it works for a couple of months with my car sitting in the scorching sun 24/7,” she said.
Car owners were very impressed with the results and many tried the product themselves. A Mas said they made his 20-year-old headlights look ‘brand new’ (pictured)

“I’ve tried $70 kits from auto supply stores with no success, but these literally wiped away the haze in seconds,” wrote another.
