Mother's aluminum wheel polish.. Made for wheels but excellent for headlights... Look at my ITR headlights before and after :

 

no i got cleaning stuff... its eagle one never dull i think... but i need to know how to get inside of the lense.

 

might sound weird, but .. i used toothpaste and a towel... , then wet it swiped again... and it was clear. lol

alittle 5 minute fix up.

 

I used the mother polish ***** work great

 

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! am i speaking english?!?!?! how do i get to the inside of the lense?!?!?!?!

 

its like a sponge ball take the bulb out and put it in there

 

oh ok thx that explains more... but that would require me to buy another something... thx for the tip but if its possible i'd like to take off the lense

 

put your headlights in the oven and remove the housing then clean it off

search diy black housings and you should see instructions on how to remove the housings

check that out

 

yea melt the glue that holds the lense to the housing then clean the lense and make sure you get a goood seal putting them back together or you will gather moisture...cool tip for tailights if you have clear lenses and you melt the housing apart and paint the house the color of your car or any color you like really but leave holes for the lights it looks pretty sick....

 

ok... thats good for once i get em out of the car... but how do i get em out of the car??

 

why don't you try something instead of being lazy! get off your azz and do something! they are not going to fix themselves they gave you a site and the knowledge put it to work! if you can't even take off a bumper than maybe you should forget it altogether.

 

The articles on team-integra.net should contain all the info you need, from removing your bumper and headlights to taking the headlights apart.

i never said i couldnt. i said do i have to? cuz i dont wanna take it off if i really dont have to, and i really dont feel like taking off random bolts until the headlights come out either.

 

you have to "bake" your headlight. Kinda like retrofitting. http://www.hidplanet.com go on forum section. you bake your headlight in the oven. Preheat to 400, then turn off and put headlight in. the rubber with become soft enough that you can pry the 2 peices apart. and BAng you can clean. then you need to reseal with some rubber cement stuff. look it up. pretty detailed.

 

and for you taking them out of your car... really just look. it isnt rocket science if you spend a couple minutes actually analysing the situation.

 

good luck
