Infamous Head Light Haze...

FaStStAnG5-0 · July 19th, 2006, 12:16 PM

for fogging on the inside of the lights, i have found that if you take the headlight out, pour a solution of 50/50 water & clorox bleach & let it sit for a little while & then rinse it out really well & it cleans them out quite well..

on the outside, i bought that mother's power ball to attach to my drill & use...

but, i bought all new projector lights for it... but i'll try out that power ball & mother's plastic polish anyways & i'll let you guys know how it turns out.

I have this problem, too. I've used nail polish remover, acohol pads, and the PlastX and only got a little better.

Go There! the stuff I used on mine worked so GOOD!

weems · September 12th, 2006, 10:55 AM

i tried almost everything on mine and nothing seemed to work , i think most people are just better off buying new ones

B0mb3r645 · September 12th, 2006, 11:38 AM

Yeah, I'm thinking about one day getting new projectors. Is there anyway to paint the black part red?

I used that 5 minute optical polish on my stang...Worked well used ALL the pads...

Now 2 months later they are hazed up again..(I think worse than before to be honest)...

Tried everything else so I guess I'll just buy new ones and PRAY....

I have heard there are diff. qulaity ones like the cheaper ones if a SMALL pebble bounces up or something on gravel road they've been known to BREAK easily..you get what you pay for I guess...

Got em pegged on ebay for about 170.00 for both OEM standard clear..smoke is cheaper for some reason..

Hey you can sand them down with light grit sand paper and use a polishing compound that will work and plastic and a buffer and they will look as good as new. I don't remember what the stuff was called that I used but I got it at a local parts store, I think Autozone! Good luck man.

Removed quite a bit of haze with toothpaste (paste not gel). Rub, then rinse off. Then I followed that with a dab of olive oil rubbed on with a cloth!! Cheap and works pretty well!!

chrish91286 · November 8th, 2006, 12:58 AM

the bleach trick works but wont keep it from hazing again i ended up buy new healights cause i got sick of messing with the fuckin clorox

232stang · November 8th, 2006, 02:33 AM

i used wd40 and a paper towel for a quick fix it looks greasy but semiclear. good for a meet or something. if you dont want to spend the time or money doing it the right way

97Cobra · November 8th, 2006, 01:54 PM

do the right way! it only cost $10 and takes about 15min.

232stang · November 9th, 2006, 01:11 AM

97Cobra · November 9th, 2006, 09:34 PM

nah they are pads that you hook to a drill and wet the surface...

CyberPrey · November 17th, 2006, 09:26 PM

Yeppers... It comes with 6 pads in the box, plus the disk adapter to plug in the drill

After I saw 97cobra's post on it, I went and got two kits..

used one on my stang, one on my neon..... The headlights on both cars look brand new almost..... took me about an hour for both all together....
