    I have just replaced the headlights on my 1990 740...the
    plastic lenses are clear like they should be...I would
    like to keep them clear....

    Does anyone know of a coating, or a means to prevent the
    fogging/yellowing that occurs on these headlights....??

    Thanks in advance for any help.......sno

    Don't expose the lights to UV light from the sun... It's the plastic, there
    isn't much you can do according to people I've talked to in the plastics
    industry... why the newer cars don't seem to do it anymore, or not nearly as
    badly - better plastics are on the market now.

    There are some rub on compounds tho, I use PlastX scratch/swirl remover, but
    for your application it's the wrong product.... I use it on the jewel type
    headlamp covers on my VW Golf - gets the white off my clear lenses.
