Man you guys got to lighten up a little.
Anyways, All you need to do is go to any Canadian tire and get a heavy oxidization polish and apply it three, to four times, and your lights will look brand new.
Good luck

Re: cleaning headlights
Hey man-- I am not mad-- thats why I posted the link instead of just saying SEARCH.Originally posted by Canadian MX-3:

All he had to do is look -- the title of the posts are "headlights"
( & BTW< I looked again & there is only one post-- the other is about the projector headlights. the fact remains, however, that it is posted in the FAQ about the headlights.)

Re: cleaning headlights
hmm believe it or not...I cleaned mine with one of those wannabe armor all sprays, It wasnt armor all, but well. I was bored and I sprayed them then I rubbed for about 5 mins. And walla..they turned clear o.0 the foggyness went away and I got alot of people asking that uif theyb were new. I used a sock. Not sure how much the appearance will work but well its lasted a week including rain. Looks nice

Re: cleaning headlights
I was going to buy some Honda projectors, because my headlight lenses were so foggy it was almost embarassing to drive my blaze red mx around. But instead, while I was on the message board, I read advice on cleaning the lenses.........and....... !! WOW !! The lenses looked 100% brand new!!
I used a car wax called Zymol, I waxed and polished 4 times..... I took my time doing this....... which round up being a few hours, but the results speak for itself.
The clean lenses make my ride look brand new now!

Re: cleaning headlights
There is a place here where I live that sell this stuff called alpha grit. It is used to remove heavy oxidation from plastic. I used this stuff on my headlights and in only one application they looked almost new but I went ahead and did it 3 times and damn they look good now. A 8 ounce bottle was only five bucks and Ive used it about 10 times now on both lights and dtill have half a bottle or more left.
93 KLZED Mx-3 with MSD ignition, LSD tranny, clutchmasters stage 3 clutch, short throw shifter, underdrive pulleys, Nology plug wires, header with open 2.5" exhaust and ractive muffler, and of course 125 shot Zex system with bottle heater electric bottle opener and purge valve, all autometer carbon fiber gauges, (Dash is completely custom in the gauge cluseter area), alpine deck with 6 disc changer, orion 32 band digital eq, 5 Linear power amplifiers, 2 alpine digital crossovers, 1 JL w5 12" woofer fiberglassed into the spare tire hole, q-form kick panels with 5 1/4 and tweeters, fiberglassed door panels and rear panels, alpine security system, also ground control coilovers, 17" Konig wheels with nitto tires, ractive rear strut tower brace, cross drilled and slotted roters on all 4 corners, GTR rear spoiler, 2 Sets of neons, and clear bumper and corner lights. I cant take credit for building this car it belonged to another mx-3er who built the whole thing and if you would like to see it being built go to Woodyscustomcreations.com

Re: cleaning headlights
There's this sutff that I got at Canadian Tire. It's got a really weird name...it starts with an M. I paid like $12 for it and it works perfectly. Use it once a month or so and you'll have seriously clear lenses.
When I get home I'll put the proper name up. Good Luck.
