I'm so glad I just watched this. I had no idea about the inside of the lens.

Eyeglass cleaning cloth. Has worked really well for me.

I miss the good old glass lenses, great video!

It's like lenses don't even want to be clean

Good tips man! And for the people talking about rubbing alcohol, don't do it! Even diluted, rubbing alcohol is a very strong SOLVENT. Even at 50% and lower. I used 50% alcohol when wiping down a high quality shroud and it actually caused the chrome to flake off after a day!

How do u open head light

Method 4: Have a fender bender that isn’t your fault, get them replaced by insurance for free lol

One time I had moisture in my light so I pulled it off, poured rubbing alcohol inside, swished it around, poured it out, and blew air into it so all of the alcohol was evaporated. Big mistake. That coating on the inside turned hazy so I had to buy a new one.

My 2013 Nissan Altima has the projectors inside, the lenses on them are cloudy and need cleaning. I was hoping this would help me, it doesn't seen like it will.

Couple of things! you can fix the crazing with a super expensive 3m canopy kit for aircraft. and the microfiber cloths can only be used once for the headlights, after that here considered soiled and will contribute to lens scratching. Learning alot from your channel. wish you were still doing videos.

This is a fantastic video! Really appreciate all these little helpful 'how-to's that you spend the time doing!

What would you suggest if the film is damaged? I'm in the process of getting a car and I think the headlight has this problem

Is there a way to clean after you've sealed up the lenses? Short of taking everything apart

As you’re washing the lens look super close in the reflection for the like to give this video!

"just vertical paths", this is what youtube was made for man, freaking sick.

At 6:57 you speak of using compressed water. Where can I find it? Drop a link

The best way to smooth out glass cheaply is to work the surface with pumice soap and to rinse off as you did. It has micro abrasives that will work out any blemishes. Then to apply a gentle glass polish with a dust free cloth. If you use a 1400gsm cloth or higher to wipe off it will leave minimal streaks. I have cleaned the outside of lenses but not experimented on the inside with the exception of just wiping them with a clean/new cloth with a little rubbing alcohol. Also, the smudges left after air drying can be removed with rubbing alcohol and a soft dust free cloth. The alcohol evaporates super fast without leaving residue. Hope my suggestions can help you. Thanks for an awesome video as always.

Thank i will try this i open a set of lights for an acura tl and there was some cardboard on the oven (i didn't saw it)and some kind of smoke is now attached to tge inside lenses.

Hey man any suggestions on how to remove buytl out of the chancels for a fresh bead?

I don't have an air compressor, can I us a blow dryer to dry of the headlight?

Have you ever thought about wrapping stuff like that in plastic cling wrap before putting it on a shelf for storage.

Have you ever seen LEDs cause hazing on the inside film? I recently took my stock ones apart to paint the housing black and put new lenses on. I also changed the bulbs to SMDs and I noticed both the sidemarkers sections got hazing around the bulb, so I had to take it apart and clean whatever it was off and re-seal. I switched to a super low heat led and that seemed to fix the issue. BUT there’s no way that any LED burns hotter than stock. I’m just at a loss as to what would cause this other than heat. Maybe the lenses are just crappy?

Hey, i need your help. I have a 13 lexus gs350 headlight that had some weird what looked like glue that was leaking down from top on the inside the the lense, water wouldn't do anything so i had to clean with a microfiber towel on a flexible rod, i scratched the inside of the lense. Any thing i can do to polish the inside to restore it back to clear? Maybe clearcoat the inside lense? Or do you know where i can buy a lense? Please help im not sure what my options are right now.

Recently did my 350Z lights and got a small blemish on the inside of the lens that needed contact to get off, so used a new microfiber and some panel prep for paint and yeah hazed the lens. Since the light is long gone anyway (previous owner butchered the housing by breaking all but 1 clip so doesn't seal unless I cover the outside in silicone) I thought id try the wet sand, clear coat, polish method and for the most part it worked really well. You can still see some scratches at certain angles but like I said the housing and lens are done anyway and this is just temporary until I replace it with a depo housing and lens and transfer the OEM internals over.

I have f150 lens that is discolored inside it is a custom light. Can you clean it for me if I send it to you ?

Thanks! I got some butyl inside my rx7 lenses, tried some soapy water and a towel… but think I’ve screwed it up. Will try the lens sealer, and if that fails move on to buy new ones…

Do you have a video showing how to get the glass off?

Why!! My lenses hazed after my last build, and yesterday I cracked them open and clean them. They cleaned up but the irony that this video pops up in my feed after I cleaned them.

Is it ok to sand the inside with real fine grit? Or will damage it ? On a civic type r headlihht

Lasted about 13 seconds before I turned it off. I don’t need to hear you yammering about how cool you are. I’ll figure it out myself.

You should definitely do that and reach out to Adam's! Kustom 54 knows his business! That man always impresses me. Has tips and tricks for days. I still think Pavel knows some sort of lighting and paint voodooism/magic 😂 A couple of these high end builders do. You still know electronic wizardry that I can't seem to master. Despite the master classes. 🤔 Lights looking way better my man! Nice job 🤘

I’m resurrecting this video. I have a failed seal somewhere on mine. I’m curious if I need to wait for the headlight to dry before going to a process like this because I want to hopefully take apart paint and reseal using same lenses. Will baking them while wet from inside bake in all that water and such.

Thank you for your informative videos! Anyway you could possibly work with Depo to start making lenses for cars that they don’t make headlights for? For example Evo 7-9s. I feel there’s a market there for them.

Was wondering if this was coming after watching the wrx video :p clearly those lens were distorted prior to you guys doing the lights that's dope 👌👌

You deserve more subs :)

Cleaning the lens surface is not the issue, getting at it when the only 'hole' is when you take the bulb out, that's the problem LOL Was looking for some nice custom made tool like an over extended old fashioned flexible 'pipe cleaner', but no one has seemed to have invented one yet!

You contaminated the microfiber cloth with your barehands. As well as using the tap water and distilled water. Also when using the compressed air to blow out the water, hold the lense upside down so gravity can do its job. It will prevent any floating particles from landing inside too.

Do you think a mix of rubbing alcohol and distilled water would work? I have condensation deposits and was thinking of trying on my beater first 😂, but maybe you could try it on a set of lenses you already have laying around?

Awesome video thank you it's good to see your very meticulous with your work. Something to consider is I think you were using a paper towel on the outside of the lens when you were doing a cleanup keep in mind that paper towels and by nature will scratch soft surfaces. Quick question if I do separate my lenses from the housing what sealant should I use to glue back together?

On another note, I really wish I could find some nice new lights for 08-10 ford superduty. Both of my custom builds (on my 08 and on my 2010) have aged so bad I'll never get them perfect again. New Motorcraft lights are priced atrocious. Never seen depo make them. Which sucks. I love the depo lights. My titan and Xterra lights were both depot. Super awesome for the cost! Sooooo if anyone knows who makes a set with good quality aftermarket set of lights for the whopping 2 years they made this body style truck(oem style. Without the extra garbage projectors and weird LED placement)...... Holler at this guy! Or if you know someone who has a stockpile of like new condition take offs without charging my 2nd born. I'll take em. Maybe you wanna help a brother out. I would love to upgrade to a dual projector setup too. I think I can squeeze a morimoto 5.0 or g5r in the factory turn/running location. Thanks for the content Chris! Always a pleasure watching you show yourself being human. 👍 Y'all take care

Man glad i found this video! I was about to open mine up and polish the inside.😂 can I send you sone pictures of these lights and you let me know if they're even worth saving?

I put some HIDs on my projector headlights , why can I see a bunch of lines on the beam on the road? Direction of the bulb maybe?

I got a headlight that doesn’t come apart. Only a quarter size hole to get into ? Any ideas?

Hmmmmm maybe this is why my GTR headlights are bright and shiny 😎

ounce i live caps open in sprayroom and same problem

smashing vid bro i enjoyed every bit of it great worm my man

Had my oem lights replaced by the dealership for flaking exterior coating, new ones looked great until i took it for a wash… water on the inside, left spots. Sadly this warranty claim was fulfilled on the last week of the cars warranty and now its either spend 700 on a new driverside light or go aftermarket…

So these Adams Microfiber towels are better to be use in this application than these Chemical Guys MIC_507_06 microfiber towels??

My custom headlights had issues and went back and forth and due to them being opened and closed about 3 times they now work but they are misting up like crazy and got all sorts of dirty marks inside. I don't want to be sending them back again. So want to try heat them up, open them up with the slide technique you have shown, clean them and re seal. Shall I still do the washing up liquid and water move around with no running and then dampen a micro fibre and gently wipe? Then I was going to blow dry them and I have kitchen towel to wipe clean. Would this be ok? Then wonder if I need more of that butyl stuff adding or just heat up what there and add more sealant around them the next day. Advise would be great. Thanks

At 28 years old i was asked what i wanted for xmas didnt want any one to spend money so i sent them all the affilate links on here 🤣

Hello, is there an alternative to OE for my 2017 Kia Forte? I replaced the original bulbs with LED bulbs on the low beam, and really no difference. I do a lot of night driving. Any recommendations?

Nice shirt got the same one !

Recently I was doing some modifications on headlights and washed inside lens with sponge and some dishwashing soap and ofc made mistake and than fixed or I hope I fixed mistake by sanding inside lens with 2.5k grit carefully with very light pressure and after washing again with water and drying with paper towels than I used burdock oil to do some polishing inside again with paper towels and it looks amazingly good, not sure if it's gonna last. Also outside lens was sanded all the way from 150 to 2.5k grits and polished with burdock oil and I never had cleaner and better lenses since I have car. Again I'm not sure if that was right thing to do and will it last, it was just desperate experiment and results are amazing currently. Headlights are from Audi A6 1998y.

How do I get the lens off of my 2007 Mazda 3 so I can clean the inside

I’m missing a dust cover. And now the inside film is peeling. I can’t find a dust cover online for 2014 Dodge Dart GT HELP!!!!

can you make a vid of how to connect the lights to the cars harness or make them work on the cars power idk if the vid is already done thank you :)

If we missed up the lenses where can we get them from or that's it we need new headlights!?

I have a question about this static dust on the inside of the headlight? what is the cause? I have similar situation with my VW Passat headlight. Thanks

Does this Plastic film that exist on the interior of the light exist on older cars like a 91 integra?

I use the same sealer but can’t remember where I found it lol, i’ll have to look at local Oreilly

Hey I just did a build and hours after finishing the plastics inside the housing all look like they have a white glaze on them. Even though I cleaned the surfaces with soap and water before sealing the housing. How can I remove this without cracking open the housing again which I really don't want to do

For the second method, placing the lens om a fixture would give a better chance of not accidentally damaging the inside

Are you using warm water or slightly hot water to get the dirt loosened up?

I love your videos... I saw that you have it coming out of the oven with hardware and wiring still in it, is that usually OK?

Where can i get the gills from the wrx headlights?

Why not polish the inside ?

Good thing I procrastinate, because I was going to polish the inside of the only pair of headlights I have xD

How much do you charge for angle eyes on a Saab 9-3 2008 something different but never really seen someone do a pair of these

I have the same tree streaks on the inside of my unopened after market head lights. I thought it was from air coming through the assembly. A leak in the housing unit. Yes or no? Also I'm looking for a set of headlights for a 2011 avalanche 2 projector in each housing. Bi- xenon lights. Etched lenses. Smoke halos, and black painted front shield (can't remember technical term). And rgb demon eyes. And entire housing painted satin black ( including drl reflectors and side marker).. the projectors... best that can fit in housing minus laser.

why not skip the tap water and just use all distilled?

So how can u clean the inside lens w/o taking the whole car apart to do it

Have you seen the videos of a magnet wrapped in a cloth and placed thru the headlight bulb hole with string and then pulled across the inside surface by a magnet wrapped in cloth on the outside of the lens? Thoughts on that?

$3000 lights, I would use new oem lens.

Any tips on cleaning the inside of a stock projector lens without removing the clear cover . I've removed the light bulb having difficult time cleaning don't have tool long each to reach inside of projector lens its kinda cloudy and dusty cause it's a 2011 🤔 any suggestions on what to clean with that won't leave residew I just want them crystal clear no haze

Does a dust air can work if I take the back caps off and spray in there ? I don’t want to take the headlights apart?

10:10 ... what's the name of the soundtrack??? I love 80's style of music!

PLEASE HELP ME MAN. I HAVE CONDENSATION BUILD UP INSIDE OF THE LIGHT. I DON'T HAVE HAVE THAT SPRAY YOU USED OR COMPRESSED AIR. WHAT CAN I DO???? PLEASE RESPOND THANK YOU

There's nothing cooler than doing the things we aren't supposed to do but want to do and pulling it off.

Never had that happen to me

Where do you purchase those headlight gills you installed on the wrx lights

I wonder if cleaning then using a ceramic coating on the inside would fill in any tiny scratches

Are you in the uk

I had to polish the inside of mine as they were hazed on the inside

We're you located

How to remove WD-40 from inside of projector lens WITHOUT dismantling headlight assembly? Even possible? 6" extra large q-tips with microfiber towel? Any glass cleaner I can use? I was hoping this video was FINALLY a fix to cleaning the inside of my headlight projector glass without being able to touch it since I refuse to pull apart my headlight assemble from fear of not being able to properly seal them (2011 Ford Edge) I'm about to try using 6" extra large q-tips with a microfiber eye lenses cleaning towel. WHY? I had a difficult time installing new LED bulbs last year, I couldn't get them to twist back in due to too much metal on metal friction and a terrible angle so only my fingertips can reach the bulb, tight space, so I stupidly sprayed WD-40 inside, over spraying inside of the projector lens!!!! What's worse is, I had to repeat the process on the second headlight!! Good luck to me for removing the year old WD-40 without dismantling the assemblies. Tips/Suggestions will be appreciated, if they are worthwhile.

How can I get an exact length for a Cadillac ATS headlight??

Ok so what do i do if i dont want to rip it off of the housing

How mate, do restore headlights for clients. If so can you reach out to me for a quote. .cheera

Cuanto cobra usted por instalar luces de colores

I want to send you my headlights so you can customize them :(

Camry is different harder breed

God damn. Saw this after the fact of cleaning water streaks in the cover. Fml.

Can I just send you my headlights it’s got some sort of powder inside the lens

Depot or any other aftermarket lights are inferior to OEM.. Id do what I could to restore the OEM lights..

Yeah I fucked up and ruined my lens on the inside.

COME HAI FATTO PROVARLO?

Are you sure you are talking about lenses, rather than covers?

Some alcohol and cotton wool do much better )))
