Dirty HeadLights?

[pushead]

My headlights on the R33 is all dirty. I also noticed alot of R33's are like this as well. What products and how do i clean it to become all clear? Also does anyone know how to open the headlight case?

Cheers all

I used meguiars plastic cleaner. Brings em back to near new. Then put some polish on them to seal it. Works a treat

I did this last weekend. I've heard a lot of things about toothpaste, cut and polish, iguana sweat... i decided to try them all.

My observations follow:

Toothpaste

Toothpaste (Colgate Whitening toothpaste) works. Well it works better than nothing. I got my headlights looking visibly cleaner with toothpaste. Method used was to squirt a bit on in the middle and wipe in circular pattern all around the headlight.

Rating: 4/10

Mothers Cut and Polish

I didn't have any Meguirs or any special plastic cleaner, so after the toothpaste I tried some Mothers cutting stuff. I used pretty much the same method to apply it, squirt some on and rub it circular until it becomes a thin coating and starts working. Then with a clean soft cloth wipe off any residue. Results, the headlights look close to new with the lights off, turn the lights on and they still look a bit aged but they are 10 years old so what can I expect.

Rating 9/10.

is there any way of getting rid of that mist behind the plastic?? i think my lights are pretty clean but theres always this mist behind which can be seen at night if u look close enough??

There is a company in bentley WA that opens up ur headlights cleans them then reseals them.

I'd say thats the only way to get rid of any mist on the inside
