Default Thoughts on headlights...


I know someone already asked on how to clean the headlights, I saw the toothpaste idea, it actually worked pretty well. For the outside. Does anyone know if its possible to clean INSIDE the housing? would it do anything if I removed the housing and "swished" a little cleaner or something inside and let it drain? DOes anyone have any thoughts?

Ive heard of people using transmission fluid to clean the inside of the lenses, and that it works great. But I digress, I have never done it myself, so I cant vouch for it.

Hahah okay well in that case, when I get the chance I'll start off with the soap and if that doesnt do a good job then I'll try traqnny fluid. So long as nothing happens that causes my headlights to turn into the firey eyes of hell [sm=badbadbad.gif]

FYI, you can also use toothepaste to mend scratched CDs. just rub the TP around the scratched area to take down the edges of the scratch.

I think that some use some whitening toothpaste on their car some months ago when they had hazed abit on the outside due to the weather. I heard that it cleans the outside real good.
