alphalanos

put them in the oven at 350 for about 1 minute. Then you can pry them off carefully, clean it, and heat the sealant up again and press them back together.

You shouldn't need to clean the back of the lens. If it's wet, dry them out.

its not wet or anything..in the bak of the lens..its all fogged up..and not clear..i see no sign of it being wet..

I've never seen damage on the inside of the lens. It's always on the outside. Clean the outside very well first before you decide to open the light.

There is nothing to have damaged the inside of the lenses.

i tried cleaning the outside..but nothing happend..it was stilled fogged up..y is it bad to take off the lens

you actually have to wet sand your headlights with like 800 grit sandpaper then move to 1000 then to 2000. then you will have to buff them out and wax them. that should do the trick....thats how the locals do it.

and if you want to go the extra mile throw some clear on there to keep em looking good

You probably didn't clean them well enough.

What did you clean them with?

I've seen people remove the lenses and clean the inside just to damage them so badly that they need new headlights.

I would not clean the inside of the lens.

you could use those buffing compound that they
use after you paint your car..
works great too!!

i seen people clean headlights with off bug repellent it does work just dont get it on your paint or leave it on too long . Plastic headlights oxidize like no other thats why i have an EJ1 lol

Autozone actually sells a headlight restoration kit by 3M that works very well. It's in the paint/sand paper/etc. section.

$20

Just use your own battery operated drill with the kit.
