Opaque Headlights (Glazed / Crazed / etc.)

Whatever you call them, they sure don't put out much light!

Does anyone have a fix for the plastic headlights once they've clouded over?

I found a vendor that sells the same plastic unit, but am hoping to find that some entrepeneur has come up with a high quality replacement for the original equipment.

Anyone else dealing with this?

Thanks,
Larry

My 90 lights got cloudy and I pulled them off the truck poured in a little clorox bleach, swished it around and poured out the bleach when the lights were clear. Worked great! Took more time to get them out of the truck than to clean them!!! So simple I wish I could take credit for it-- the neighbor kid across the street told me about it!!!

maybe try that CLR stuff, i have seen people use it in their showers to get rid of the same type of opaque looking residue.

just a thought...

I have a 89 F-150 and I also had the same problem I cleaned the outside with a prodict called FLITZ it worked great!! You can buy it at a gundealer or maybe Wal-mart. As for the inside try taking the light assembly off of the truck and pour aliitle bleach inside of the light and swish it around and that should make your headlights look brand new GOOD LUCK
