just bought a set of white headlight surroundings on eBay
in general they're in good condition, but they're not really white ... they've that typical "old and grey" touch as well as some color overspray now I wonder what's the best way to get them clean white without distroying their surface and without overspraying with white color I'd love to keep the original white plastic look ... any experiences?

I just cleaned a set of black ones that had white over spray. Used regular dish cleaning liquid and a scowering pad and a lot of rubbing. Turned out pretty good, not perfect. White may be a bit more difficult, especially with the red paint. You could try letting them soak in hot water with a liquid soap to soften up the paint.
