Dull silvia headlights

As above lads the headlights on the s14 are a bit dull and tierd looking from age, any way to bring them back or is it just time for new ones??

I rubbed brasso to plastic headlamps before and compund them with the buffer after, it will greatly improve them but not make them perfect.
Maybe there are other ways :confused:

Compound.... heard thats how there made like new?

or meta polish from halfrauds (not 100% sure tho...)

just before you buy anything, go to your kitchen press (or your monthers) an take out Astonish, its in a blue tube its like white paste... try that ;) (its the same as metal polish, well much the same..)

If your headlamps are glass get a sponge and wash them.......
Or maybe S14's have a plastic reflector in the lamp that goes dull like the old mondeo's ??
