cleaning headlights

Hi everyone. I have a 95 Eagle Talon and I was wondering if there was ANY possible way to clean the interior of the headlights. It is driving me insane and I don't have the money to replace them right now!! Thanks...Erin.

welcome to AF. I would take them all apart take all the electrical out and put some water with some kind of cleaning solution in there. I dont have a talon so I dont know if you can do what I just said alls I know is you can do it with my car.

serch before u post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

read the rules and regulations!!!

not being a dick but this gets annoying

Thank you for replying!! (Can't spell) I know how to get the headlight out, but I do not know how to take it apart or even if it is possible to take it apart. Is it hard to do on your car?

Erin

Are they foggy/dirty looking? That stuff might be on the outside then. Check this out: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=271112&highlight=headlight+cleaning

I think vince (boostedspyder) has a writeup on this.

no I took my headlight apart fairly easy there are alot of other people in here that can help you out alot more then I can someone will be posting about it on here soon. my computer is insanly slow unless we all posted at the same time cause those posts werent there before I posted. weird.

yes it is possible there should be little silver/crome clames around the clear part and the back of the head light just loosein them

Thank you all sooooooo much......I will try all of the suggestions in the morning.....this has been the only problem I have had w/ my talon and it has been driving me crazy! Thank you!

ya try reading the FAQ. it's the thing in the bottom of my sig that says FAQ.

check my write-up for how to remove the amber. this is how you get them open. i think that acetone was the general good feeling for a cleaner.





















or mabey it was something like 'never use acetone'


LOLOL

Plastic pollish works great on unfogging headlights. One of mine was foggy, used that bad-boy and cleaned it right up. Looks great.

As for the plastic polish... it's called NOVUS... start with a NOVUS 2 for polishing and finish with NOVUS 1. The #1 is great for general cleaning and acts like a rainX on glass.

Hey, I dont know what it was... only what was somewhat used

I work at an Advance Auto Parts and we sell a kick ass product by Meguiars, its called PlastX. Its like around 5 bucks a bottle, it takes off the haze on the outside of the headlight, the stuff that looks like its on the inside.

YUP same thing as NOVUS just different name.

be patient when you heat the glue up to take hte lens off. I broke one because it was pissing me off. go very slow. honestly id guess 30 min a light prying and heating

If your lens are foggy just buffer it out. thats what i did to my headlights. It was fogged up and looking nasty and i thought it was the inside but its on the outside.

Save yourself the time and BS of wet sanding... Find a product called NOVUS.. use the #2 compound first and follow up with NOVUS #1
You are looking at about 5 minutes a light/lense

:uhoh:

yeah i thought about that after i posted lol!

All of the original posters posts were in this thread. Makes me think he really is still working on them. Scary.
