    Is it legal to use one of these headlights?

    The headlights on my civic are turning yellow, and hard to see at nigh, but
    my current headlights have a yellow cover on one of the sides, and the ones
    from eBay are all clear. I am in Texas.
    Thanks

    Yellowing of the lenses is mot peculiar to Honda, many brands
    have the same problem, caused by lack of maintenance of the lens
    cover. Get yourself some of that stuff they sell in motorcycle
    shops to clean cycle windshields. After you get them cleared up
    use a polymer, like 'NuFinish,' to keep them clear, WBMA.

    If you're talking about the 'turn signal' portion not being amber, you
    could use amber bulbs in them (like the Dodge Caravan does for DRL in
    Canada) It might be illegal to use white lamps for turn signals where
    you are.

    Good question. I wish everybody would ask themselves these questions
    before installing some of this stuff....

    I didn't know you could do that. But you know exactly what I am talking
    about, now it is hard to see at night. The headlights have a light coat of
    something and I don;t know how to get it clean.
    I will check on that stuff for motorcycles.
    Thanks

    Right, I don't want to install it and get a ticket down the street, but I
    guess the yellow bulb will cover me. I will try to clean my old headlamps
    before buying a new set, since Honda sells them around $150 ea side, and the
    aftermarket are $100/pair. I am wondering if it's worth it.
    Thanks

    i like the clear lens/yellow light setup versus the yellow lens/clear
    light setup... my '90 prelude had red/clear taillights.... mmm i miss
    that prelude.

    Robert,
    The wrecking yards are computerized, and can locate used headlights you
    want from all around the country. Why not try that first??

    i got a 96 contour and the headlight covers always turn yellow.. its the
    plastic in them breaking down and causing a gunk on the outisde.. this
    is what i did and it fixed it until the hot sun got to it again(lasted
    about 6 months... $1.79 can of turtle wax Polishing compound at any auto
    parts store... left thood open and taped around the bottom and sides of
    the lenses to protect the painted areas of the fenders,etc. so the
    polishing compound would not remove the paint from them... used a cup of
    water and some old face cloths(the kind with the bumpy material works
    best) wet the rag and applied some compound to the rag.. rubbed them
    for about 10 minutes and then got out the old electric drill with a
    polishing bonnet on the end of it and worked on each for about 5 minutes
    more... i did this three times and the haze went away.... i also had
    some head mounted magnifier lens and could see what i was getting off of
    the headlight lenses.... it lasted about 6 months and the problem came
    back.... do it again and you got another 6 months... the difference
    when finished made them look like new......

    Doesn't matter what his IQ is. Reading your posts, yours doesn't seem to be
    much higher.
    Your posts are anything but constructive or useful.

    What's wrong with you? Are you angry because you're ain't getting any?
    If you don't like his posts, don't read them. just stop annoying everybody
    with your stupid comments.

    Doesn't matter what his IQ is. Reading your posts, yours doesn't seem to
    be
    I think they are. Aside from the sound advise I give, letting people know
    when someone is giving wrong and/or giving false information, is *very*
    constructive and useful to the group.
    Any what?
    No thank you. I will continue to point out bad, wrong, misguiding, and flat
    out fabrications of information given here.

    Take care. :)

    On Tue, 07 Oct 2003 19:23:43 GMT, some stupid top-posting,
    nym-shifting idiot currently calling himself
    Do you dare tell them about your trolling of USENET with the names
    "Mike Hunt" and "Big Johnson"?

    I thought not.

    This comes from DIZZY? The stations need an address to access
    the net, those ARE some of the names. I always sign mike hunt to
    be constant when I post from the different stations. Only a fool
    who likes to get spammed, would use a real name/address in a NG

    pontificated in

    "Mike", we should talk.

    *Nobody* savvy uses his real email address in a Usenet message. The correct
    approach is to use a munged version of your real address, so if people
    really want to contact you, they can, just by using a bit of human
    observation when deciphering the munged version. Bots can't contend with
    most munging efforts, which is why my address--unchanged for years--remains
    spam-free.

    There are actual, live individuals on the Internet who know my real name,
    and exactly where I live (ask MDT Tech and Scott Lee Blair). That's more
    than anyone can say for you.

    You, on the other hand, *know* you are an annoyingly juvenile and
    egotistical person and are therefore subject to killfiling, so you use
    IleneDover, BigJohnson, etc. as bozo-bin subterfuges. It *does* work, so
    you're not a total idiot. Close, but not total.

    You have a dialup account with Penn Tele Data. You are in the 570 area
    code. You dial up using an internal 56K Winmodem in a Win98 machine, so
    you're using older hardware. This "satellite" stuff is nonsense and you
    know it. Those roving PTD IP addresses put the lie to your assertions, but
    you're obviously too ignorant to know why.

    When will you ever get it? NOBODY believes anything you say. Your posts and
    the replies to them are Onanistic more than anything else. They exist for
    your pleasure and yours alone.

    Not if you use fetch filters it doesn't. I don't care what he uses I
    won't see him unless he does an exact forgery of someone I fetch and
    there are few if any ISPs who won't act on someone doing forgeries.

    Duuhhh... That's not the issue, "Mike Hunt". It's the names you
    choose and fact that you're constantly changing names to avoid kill
    filters.

    Well duh...but you can change them idiot. I don't think I would do business
    with a company who uses such names.
    How mature.
    And only an idiot would use grade school names, then try to pass himself off
    as some sort expert.

    You are nothing more than a troubled teenager, with no self esteem. You are
    also a proven liar here, and have been caught red handed.

    No get out before we call your Mommy.
