What to use to clean inside of a headlight?
 

hey guys, dang its been awhile since i've been on this board, i think i was one of the first few hundred members, the site looks HELLA different now.. well heres my problem, i cleared out both of my headlights like 2 years ago, but one of the headlight is so dirty inside. i drove around during winter with no weather seal on one of the headlight, i totally forgot to put it back on, so one of my headlight got pretty dirty inside, so my question is, what should i use to clean the inside of my headlights?

this is kind of related... when i was putting new bulbs in my turn signals (i have an 02 Si, i don't know how different an EX or LX's headlights are) i dropped one in accidently because it wasn't in all the way. so to get it out, i used a wire clothes hanger and wrapped some tape around it to snag the bulb. i would imagine you could fashion a rag around a hanger and get it in there to clean it out... but i don't know how big the holes are. hope that helps...

If you have time take out the light and disassemble it. Go to a car wash of auto part store that sells window wipes soaked in like rubbing alcohol or something, buy couple of those wipes and clean out the light.

wow thats so time consuming.

Another question that is kinda related, my buddy wiped my outer headlights with a kleenex without wetting it. So now i have a couple of scatches on the plastic. Is there anything i can buy to get rid of it?

man your just havin rotten luck with those headlights. You can't do anything about the scratches, but my advice is save some money and buy some new already clear headlights

ya, i was gonna say clean em with alcohol and sunglass wipes, but i have no clue what to do about the scratches.

Yea I had a headlight explode & it fogged one all up & put wierd designs al over the inside. Ive been trying to figure out a way to clean the damn thing out too.

Wrong Forum.

I'd pee in them. :flush: :rofl:

for the scratches...try plastic cleaner/polish...ive used it on my headlights and taillights and it works really good (i do this about every 3-4 months)


**USE A MICRO-FIBER TOWEL**

aight, i'll try rubbin alcohol tonight... actually i'll do it this weekend, too lazy to take off the bumper today.. way too tired from partyin last night.. heh.. aight thanx yull

WTF?????

Our Headlights are plastic??

Slump

yeah...so are the taillights :_doh:

What else would they be made out of? Glass? haha, that would be a lot easier to clean but the rocks would kill you!
