my headlights are all dirty inside, just wondering if there is a way cleaning them/opening them up?

Also is it possible to get the front cover remoulded or something to get rid of all the scratches so its all nice and clear?

Anyone got the same problem?

if they are yellow then just use a car wax of some sort doesnt really matter which one and makes a huge difference. half the stuff you think that is inside the headlight comes up with a bit of elbow grease.

there are other threads on this somewhere around SAU

no its not the yellow stuff on the outside, its like moisture or some dust/dirt on the inside of it.

I bumped into another line owner in the BP station on Canterbury Rd near Canterbury, he told me to use colgate tooth paste! yes Colgate toothpaste, and it worked! its alot more clear now, give it try!

Do you clean the headlights from the outside with that toothpaste ?

Im asking how to clean them from the inside...

i used a light cut and polish (supposed to be for paint) but worked a charm... for the outside crapness that comes and goes...

to get to the inside, you gotta heat the oven to 150, chuck em in, turn the oven OFF, wait 15 mins, take out, then pull apart... use tools cause that shit will be hot... and use tools you dont care about cause you will get black sticky shit all over your tools...

getting them back together though, i dunno, you may have to buy some new sticky shit...

they should be pretty well sealed though... if you got crap on the inside, i suggest you find out how it got in there and fix that too...

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
