You'll want to apply some clear spray paint to them at the very end, otherwise they'll get super yellow again in like three months.
I did this with two different UV resistant clear sprays and both yellowed and faded in a relatively short amount of time. And I didn’t buy super cheap bottom shelf stuff or anything. I believe I got rustoleum and another brand I don’t recall.
Simple fact is plastic is going to deteriorate in sunlight. I miss square glass headlights. Get off my lawn.
The perfect middle ground happened for me with my 2001 E46. Modern headlight shape but with easily replaceable lenses. Gluing the damn things together is BS.
