Headlight Restoration - Removing Yellow Tint

Ever wonder what the cheapest and the easiest way is to remove that yellow tint from your headlights?
The answer is toothpaste and a bit of elbow grease. 

Sure there are other options, baking soda and lemon juice or WD-40 lubricant.
I have found toothpaste is the fastest, cleanest and easiest way to clear headlights. Please note that none of the above mentioned techniques including toothpaste will last forever. Although you will have about two months of clear headlights before having to reapply. With no mixing no mess and at minimal cost with common items found in your house. 
Just dab a penny size amount of toothpaste on the headlight, wet it with water and scrub with a slightly used scrubby sponge (that way it won't scratch the plastic).
Below are the results on a 2010 Toyota Corolla Sedan, the results are clear 😁 (joke)
Right lens cleaned, the left side is original

Don't spend your money on expensive lens cleaning products, when it can be done for pennies.
