how to clean headlights (inside)??

if you open your HL, the original sealant will be enough to seal it back.

Another way to clean the headlights, without having to disassemble the lens from the housing, which i learned from Glennster and did to our AE111 and Accord before:

1. Remove headlight assembly.
2. Flush/rinse with water and some detergent inside.
3. Drain soapy water and leave just enough to cover the lens when it's facing down.
4. Add cotton balls inside the housing and move it around inside the headlamp assembly (with some water/soap left), touching the lens and reflector.
5. Drain the water with the cotton balls.
6. Repeat if needed.
7. Blow dry the headlight assembly and sun dry for a day at the least.

Kung malinis na proceed to the next step. Pag hindi, pour soapy solution again but this time grab a pair of wooden chopsticks/BBQ sticks (remove the sharp end) then insert a soft cloth to wipe the surface... Rinse, then go to the next step

Then pour a 50/50 solution of rubbing alcohol and distilled water, mga 1 cup pwede na... shake again... This step is will remove any soapy residue and water spots that may have been left on...

Dry with an air compressor or warm hair blower...

tried this method the other day w/ my raybrig/stanley foglights and it worked like a charm

a little deviation i did though was to finish my cleaning w/ some lens polishing by using a combination of toothpaste and mothers plastic polish.

:help!:

^ you think this whole procedure will also work for tail lights too?

my fd's rear tail lights recently developed this recurring moisture problem in it and i so decided to buy a brand new set of oem gaskets for it. but before replacing those old worn out gaskets i'm thinking of cleaning them tail lights first before reinstalling them. so i'm wondering if the procedure outlined by bro theveed before won't do any damage to the tail lights assembly

I intend to do this with our 2007 Altis. The only part i absolutely hate is removing the bumper to remove the headlights. Buti pa yung mga headlight nung araw... mas madaling kalasin.
