Clean your lights. I used Meguiars PlastX headlight cleaner. First i cleaned them real good then, I did the wetsand steps, 1000 grit,1500 then 2000 sanding the lights with the sandpaper and water. Then cleaned again. Then applied the Meguiars. They look brand new and the light out put at night was noticibly brighter on the 850.

Did it on the 240 and the lights looked like giant white pearls. They were pretty bad. The light output after that was a ton brighter. Those headlights are huge. Also did 2 740 lights. Defently looks so much better,its a cheap way to make the car look good over all instead of buying new lights.

Nice! I've been thinking of replacing the lenses because of how scratched they are, but will try this before I do...

 

Since you have a 1993 you have the single bulb headlights right? Why not do a dual bulb headlight conversion? I know a member of VS did it and it looks 100% better.

You serious? Yes, they are single bulb, but didn't think it was possible to convert as they were different physical size assemblies. Do you have a link??? I'd KILL for those eurospec lenses! Well, maybe not kill, but would definetely go that route...

 

Big word of advice.

Before replacing my old worn headlights completely, I bought the same stuff.
Guaranteed to clear up your headlights and remove yellowing and clouding.

If you're just cleaning the outside of the lens, no worries. BUT...if you're going to remove the lens and clean the inside as well...

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE REFLECTIVE PLASTIC. THE REFLECTIVE SURFACE IS PAPER THIN, AND ONLY A BASIC COAT OF REFLECTIVE PAINT. THIS LENS CLEANER WILL COMPLETELY REMOVE THE REFLECTIVE SILVER SURFACE IN SECONDS.

They tend to fade out from moisture or heat (or both) - and can appear dirty with yellow..or white spots. Don't attempt to clean it. You'll be left with horrible looking lights (blank spots where the reflective coat was simply erased), and they'll appear dim at night as a result.

In other words...USE ON GLASS ONLY.

You won't see improvement without sanding as mentioned...cleaning alone is pretty much pointless.
