Hey guys,

Just noticed when i was washing my car today that behind the glass/plastic on the front of my parras there is a layer of dust on them, just wondering if its possible to remove the glass and clean behind it? I had a look on the lights and there are metal clips on it, is it as easy as removing the clips? I don't wanna resolve to baking my lights just to clean the glass.

Cheers.

I have taken off all of the clips but the glass cover is glued to the plastic headlight.

You could try blowing in the back of the headlight with an air compressor but I would be very careful, as high pressure air could very easily disrupt the chrome reflective stuff

Ah dang just what i didn't wanna hear, it would need more then that, its like a fine mud, i came out of an automatic carwash once and both headlights had condensation built up in them, combined with the dust its like a fine brown glue, ah well, just something that im gonna have to be bugged by.

Do a search for how to make angel eyes. It tells you how to pry apart the two. The gist of it is to put it into an oven to heat it up to soften the glue.

Yeah i read that before i posted this, didn't wanna resort to heating the glue, knowing me i will bake them into plastic pie.

Pull the headlamp out of the vcar and remove the globes. Get a thin stick of wood or some wire and wrap some rag around the end. Clean it out with that. Kind of like a giant cotton bud.

Remove the bulbs, then remove the headlights and rinse with distilled water. This should not leave any water marks when it dries. Can use a hairdryer to dry it quicker.
