I used Rubbing Alcohol to clean my housing. Anything will work that will dissolve over time, and wont leave moisture, and wont mess up the plastic.

 

Well what do you mean by plastic covers? If you mean the Clear lense that goes on the outside of the headlight, then I would use a clay bar on it and work on it for a while then just clean, and put some Meguiars Hi-Tech yellow wax on the lense and It will look like new again. Hope this helps.

 

thanks guys
i was a little fague on details but i have a 97 hatch...and the lense is soo dirty. the inside is ok since its never exposed but the outside is horride...

ill try what you suggested Haccord2.2
thanks

 

avtually the 96-98 lenses have a horrible habit of turning yellow. I know, i have a 98. the solutions are getting some polishing stuff, getting a polishing disk that you can put on a drill, and hoping that helps.

otherwise you have to go aftermarket.

I have cleaned mine but they still look crappy, if i use car wax on them they do look a bit better.
