Now instead of nice mirror shine reflector, I have a cloudy looking one from all the gas. What did you guys do to get it nice and clean again? Is it possible to remove the glass part, so I can actually clean the inside? Or can I just shoot some Windex in there and hope for the best

take the headlight out, swish non-flammable cleaning solution around and dry with a towel on a stick, Voila, now you have to do the other one becuase this one will be so clean.

Thanks Steve...

I guess I'll give that a try. Maybe I can just shoot some windex and take bunch of turn really quick. LOL I'm lazy. Don't feel like taking the headlight out.

rubbing alcohol is extremely non-flammable.

Uhhh... don't you mean flammable?

Have you been back to New England Dragway since you installed your nitrous system?

tony, you can pull the front cover off the headlight assembly to clean inside of it if you really want..

you gotta put it in an oven and pre-heat it for that tho...
go to mzmtg's home page, he did a write up on how to take it apart...
