thenewanomaly Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 <_< Hey guys, I'm new here. I read a little bit here and can tell that help is on this domain. I will do my best to give a little engine expertise, but thats about all i can offer. Ok. My first question. My 1992 ES300 has some dirty headlights. Problem is, all of the debris and dirt is internal. I can't afford new fixtures right now, so I would like to have them look decent for a bit longer until I have the $$$. So has anyone ever performed such an operation on headlights? THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 do a search on clearing corners. Even though you may not be actually clearing the corners, these threads will provide you with instructions on how to remove your headlights, open them, clean them out and then reassemble them. You only need an oven, some silicone sealer, some rudimentary tools and a moderate dose of patience. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxavier2k Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I thought that my dirty headlighta was due to internal staining but I tried cleaning with a bleach based creme cleaner (like soft scrub) :o and polished with a paper towel and now they are like new.

stevenh Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 3M makes a plastic cleaner and a plastic polish, both for about $8. They worked beautifully on my headlight lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
