Dirty headlight...

[dcanada]

Ok I know a lot of vehicles do this, it looks like its all foggy. But when you go out to clean it off? ITS ON THE INSIDE!!! lol

Anyways my problem is im trying to sell my vehicle. I got hit on one side and they replaced one of the foggy headlights. So its nice and clean, the other side is dirty and nasty on the inside. Now is there anyway you can get it repaired without buying a new assembly? If so how?

If you just need to take them apart do the first part of the Whistler headlight mod:

That'll get them apart. I'll bet you have the same problem as many others, though. Much of the cloudiness is on the outside from slight rock hits and sand dings. You can polish the outer coverings down with a 2000 grit sandpaper (I found some at Pep Boys) to get the deep pits out. Then take a drill with a polishing head on it (kinda like a rag on a drill bit) and use a plastic polish to clean them up. Mine looked darn good when I finished. And then I took them off and stored them away and replaced them with Halos. :)

Re: Dirty headlight...

it is most likely on the outside. You cant just clean it off, you have to wet sand and polish it.

Ive done the sandpaper thing and the toothpaste thing, it still is there.

You'll need a heavier plastic/glass polish. Work it from gritty down to smooth. It'll take some work. You'll need a drill polisher type thing. It will work eventually. You'd be better off just upgrading to Halos if you like that look. They aren't too expensive either.

Are halos a lot better looking ?

It's really personal preference but I like mine. I connected the halos (the circular part) in to my running lights so they look cool all the time. Take a look at DEFTONS56's signature line. The picture of his car shows his Halos on at night. Other than that they look and work just like the originals.
