Cleaning Headlights

[richie*is200]

rite, i have a small problem thats starting to get on my nerves, if you look closely at the picture below you will see that the right headlight is dirty on the inside, is there any thing i can do like take the glass off and clean it or something like that.thanks.

well what you would need to do is take the headlight apart by putting it in the oven.

Are you sure it's dirty on the inside and not on the outside ? It's usually the outside that can get discoloured, but you can use something like a clay bar or Brasso to fix that.

G10 finishing compound usually does the trick too :)

yeah its on the inside, ive tried compounding the outside just to see was it on the outside but no luck.

You'll have to take them apart then I'm afraid, like Asi said, by putting them in an oven. Use the search facility to find other threads on this, and feel free to ask more questions on how you do that if the other threads aren't quite clear.

[Asi]
