Your vehicle’s headlights are designed to illuminate the darkness clearly, especially when you’re travelling on roads without street lights. If you’ve noticed that they’re not as bright as they once were, it may be time to clean them. There are some options available to you if you want to do this project yourself.
The first is to use toothpaste and warm water on a cloth to scrub the headlights. Depending on how much debris has built up, you may need to repeat the cleaning step. When you’ve finished, simply rinse them with a warm damp cloth. This method works better on plastic than glass, but you can try it on both.
Another technique involves some finesse. To prepare, get several sheets of sandpaper – moving from a coarser to very fine grit and glass polish. Begin with the coarsest paper, and gently work it around the headlight carefully evening out any scratches. Repeat this step with each sandpaper grit. Complete the process with glass polish.
