Hey guys, i'm having a problem with my driver side headlight. What happened was about 1 week ago my headlight blew out and I had to replace my lights. What happened was during a heavy snow storm i guess the bulb burnt out but here's the thing. The bulbs I was using were regular xenon bulbs. When the light bulb blew out it cracked in half leaving a large chunk of the bulb in the headlight. I successfully removed the large chunk out and just used my stock bulbs until i get some new hyper white bulbs. Well here I am today putting in my new super plasma bulbs in and what i've noticed was my passenger side headlight was fine but my driver side headlight didn't look right. It looked faded and the passenger side headlight looked clear. It's as you can't see inside of the driver side headlight. It doesn't look clear. It looks like the glass is staned or something. Anyone know what I should do? My car is a 99 ls and do you think I should just bring it to Acura to look at? Or is it something that I might be able to fix on my own. I guessing the xenon gas did something to my headlight?

Thanx

joe

 

probably time to replace the headlight...do you have a pic?

 

bring it in to acura

 

yeah if you try to wipe it you'll see that theres a film of dust in there. same thing happened to me. gotta get a new headlight or try to clean it. or you can blow out another headlight on the other side?

 

You think I can just use air in a can to blow out the dust???

 

i know this sounds stupid so dont flame me...but can you use some sort of cleaning solution to clean it? THen can you use a blow dryer to dry the solution?

 

I took out the projector and i cleaned everything with water and alittle soap. Everything seemed to be good but later on i noticed that everything fogged up and condensation built on all over the projector and the inside part the encloses the projector. I'm trying to get the headlight to dry.

How would I go about drying it without removing the whole unit?

Do you think that if i just leave the hood open that cold air will probably dry everything? or maybe sticking a blow dryer and dry things up that way?

thanx
