Depends on how bad, Have any pics?
Depending on how bad sometimes you can get away with Wet sanding them with (600 if really yellow and faded)800,1000,1500,3000 then machine buff with compound then glaze. But that fade/fog will return again over time.
I typically suggest replacement if they are super bad to customers. But MM headlamps are expensive aftermarket and impossible to find OEM so thats a little easier said than done.
There's a YouTube video where the guy takes Mother's Aluminum Mag polish and uses an expensive 3M backing pad and another front pad and gets phenomenal results making even the most yellowed lens look like it just came from the factory. "Why pay someone too much when you can do it yourself?" is his repeated point.
Sounds good, and I already had the Mother's polish, but the reason I'll pay someone else to do it is because the two specialty pads combined are almost $90. He also coats them with a protectant as a follow up.
For $45 the local jiffy lube will polish them out so they look brand new, and they guarantee the job for life. If it ever clouds up again they'll redo them for free. I was skeptical at first when my wife had hers done, figured it was just another quickie lube ripoff (I keep telling her to save her money and let me change the oil, but what do I know), but I couldn't believe the results. Completely clear and have stayed that way.
I intend to get mine done as well. That will be the first time I've been in one of those places with my own car ever, but if it works..
