    Default Headlight cleaning

    Sup, my headlight is foggin up, its in the inside. So Ive heard people saying you heat them in the oven and take them apart and clean them or w/e.

    but i have some questions

    what temp do i cook/bake(?) them to?

    how do i re-seal them?

    Im a newbie to all this, if someone can just tell me the process of how to do the whole entire process it would be awesome

    thanks

    ive never done this but i know some people here have but u seal them back up by heating them back up and push it back together. i know that. if its just moisture then u should be able to put like rubbing alcohol in it and swirl it around and dump it out and it should dry up. i heard to do that and i tried it on my 3000gt and it worked kinda but i had shitty alcohol so it was kinda watery so it worked but not super awesome or anything. just my

    If there is a rubber backing behind your headlight pull it out for a few days, the moisture will dissipate. <---cheapest

    to seal it, heat them up and press them together hard. Should do it but I would as a thin layer of clear silicone to beon the safer side.

    I would get clear, if you mess up or not do it smooth enough, you wontbe able to tell. If you use white or black, it will stand out like a sore thumb.
