Cleaned the INSIDE of my headlights

DAMN they are shiny and very clear now. Before there was a slight fog, whiping the outside wouldn't get rid of it. I got removed the bulbs and unscrewed a screw to remove the bulb 'protector' (?) or cover (Whatever its called) and sprayed car window cleaner inside. I stuck a small cloth towel inside and used chopsticks to move it around inside to clean it up making sure to get the back side of the plastic cover good. Before my headlights look so old and there was a slight hint of brown, now they are VERY clear and new-like, at least until you stick your face right near it and see the chips and scratches I turned on my headlights and they look so clear unlike before where there was a slight fog. The Purple from my plasma's glisten more. I'm gonna do my foglights next.

Thanks for the hint, I will try it before the week end.

Very interesting idea. But on the 2k2 assemblies, I dont think this will work.

I will have to just clean it when I break open the seal to clear out the orange turn signal lense.
