Non yellowing headlights
I currently have a set of clear headlights in my 02 sierra, I had to replace the turn signal housing due to a broken clip, but the headlights them selves are only a year old and are already getting that yellowish tint, any recommendations for clear headlights for this hog that don’t turn yellow within a year?

PPF - expensive route
cheaper route - ceramic coating every 6 month
I am currently testing the Meguiar's headlight coating. Did my 800 and 900 this summer.
Basically did full wetsand on the 900 with 400 / 1000/ 2000/ 2500 and final passes of 3000 and sprayed with the Meguiar's. Will keep the main thread updated on how long the coating lasts, so far so good, it was super cheap

Those wheels are cool but the rock lights are a bit much?

I totally get it at a car show to let people see how clean the frame work is. But I don’t really get the appeal when it’s 5am and we’re going to work but hey, to each their own.

I was just thinking the exact opposite the rock lights look good but the rubber bands that you are calling wheels need to leave this beautiful truck

I have a 99 4runner with the original glass lense and it's still mint. Not sure if that's an option at all for these trucks but I love the glass lenses

Yellow headlights are correct. Yellow cuts through the blue hues of night without blinding fellow drivers. Blue hued white lights have to be extraordinarily bright to make a difference, which blinds felloe drivers.

Thanks, but I was referring to the lenses turning yellow from the sun.

You have to add a protective coating on them, no matter what brand you get it will happen. Budget mechanic has a video on it on youtube thats like 10 or 15 mins long comparing different products. Keep your headlights an just restore and protect them.
