I know you guys w/s14's know what I'm talking about.  My s14's headlights are getting yellow, I've tried to wash them, scrub them, bleach them, oxy-clean them....it still seems to look yellow...arghhh!!  This is one reason that's making me suggest an s15 front end conversion.  I want my headlights to look clear...as clear as the corner lights.  What have you guys done to solve this problem??? Does nissan sell OEM replacements? I've heard of a glass version is this true? HELP!

I took 1500-grit wet/dry sandpaper and very carefully sanded them, while keeping the headlight and sandpaper very wet.  I then took 3m polishing glaze and polished the #### outta them and they look SOOOOOO much better!
