Meguiar's PlastiX works pretty well. It's not perfect but your lights were pretty good to start so they'd have probably ended up looking just like new.

I used PlastiX on my Accord light's on Saturday and they went from yellow to moderately clear in about 60 seconds. I used a buffer on one side and did it by hand on the other - there was no discernable difference between the two methods. Very quick and easy.

i had this film on my 03 civic si before i got my 05 s2k. i tinted the taillights and they didn't crack and i never had any problems with them for the two years that i owned it. i recently had the light blue tint on my s headlights for 6 months, but now that i see the looks of black tinted headlights it makes me want to try to go this route instead. for anyone interested in doing this www.lamin-x.com sells this vinyl film in a couple different colors. it is a non-permanent way to tint your lights and is easily removable if you decide to change unlike painting them.
