I’m a 71 year old female. I’m the original owner of a 2004 Honda Accord with only 61K miles. Last evening I was positive my headlights weren’t working. There were areas of my route I had to use high beams. When I got home, I discovered they were working but the lens were so cloudy very little light was getting through. I texted some male friends and said they can be cleaned for $100-300. I discovered your video! I have the Mr Clean magic erasers. I just used a couple days ago to clean the white edge of my tennis shoes. I will buy the spray protectant and clean ASAP. Thank you for your excellent tutorial. I have been able to diagnose and fix several problems myself by watching Utube videos. I will let you know how my application goes. Thank you from Dallas
Thank you so much for this video, I'm an older woman and I live on a fixed income, your video helped me to clean my own headlights and not have to go around asking for help to clean them when I can do it myself. 😊👍💕 You are a God send .
Either your lense is cracked and lets the moisture in or the surrounding is leaking which usually requires at least a $50 or better buy of a new lens.... plastic does not hold up well!!!! @@siry5164
Thank you so much. I have a 2003 Lincoln Town Car and now I will be able to clean the headlights. I, too, am a 79 year old female who has asked many men how to do this with no help. You explained everything so well. Blessings to you.
I just use acetone nail polish remover. Makes them crystal clear in one pass. Don't make more than one pass...additional passes cause the fog again. Don't get it on your paint.
These men these days ain't shit. Excuse my language but it's true. Most of them are trifling and lazy. I have a so called friend who if I ask for his help with something he would rather tear something up than to fix it. That's why I've got to where I stay by myself. If you don't want to see me succeed and you know can't you help me fix especially something electrical then just stay away from me!!
Crazy Car Mods: Yes, we would LOVE to know how to clean the "moisture" out of the headlights, as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & skills with us. I have LIKED and subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials! I'm very grateful...I LEARNED so much! ;-D
Very nicely done video, I love how you broke it down to easy steps, without skipping important details. But I wanted to know how you applied the clear coat without runs or too little for fovgyness Your layout of products was well done. Two 👍
A couple of years ago, I paid Walmart $25 to clean my headlights. It looked great but only lasted the better part of a year. Thank you for all this info! You've been a blessing to this old woman. 😊
Thanks for your advice. I found a bicarb (baking) soda toothpaste which worked really well. I was left with a fine haze, though. My finishing touch was an application of "Brasso" metal polish: Rub on, leave to dry, then polish off vigorously with a soft cloth. The result is magic! I use Brasso to clean scratches off CDs & DVDs too..!
'96 Avalon here and they're as cloudy as Seattle, WA on a foggy and overcast day! THEY'RE SUPER BAD!!! I Can't wait to do this 2moro! I was actually pricing lights today (TOO MUCH $ for fixed income woman) and your video suddenly appeared... I just wanna be safe and with your helpful video that is now going to be a reality. THANK YOU FROM THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!
Thank you for confirming and proving what I already knew. Now I can prove to everyone I've been trying to tell this to, that I'm not crazy and actually know what I'm talking about! Thank you again!
Thank you for showing an old woman how to clean the headlights on her car it was a great help loved watching the video you are very informative got to the point excellent the best video I've seen yet thank you again God bless
Thank you for taking time to make this video! Very helpful. I liked the mix of 3.. baking soda, hydrogen, and vinegar best. The wd 40 looks crazy good, to bad it's only temporary.
Great video, thank you! I missed the part on the WD40 application. It sounds as if you applied it alone but, what if you apply it after your favorite cleaning method? Oh, and yes, I'd be interested and look forward to watching your video on how you remove condensation and if possible, how to fix the leak/prevent it from happening again.
I'd like to see how you get the moisture out of the headlight so if it is somewhere, I didn't see and will keep looking. I've tried a few of these in the past but will definitely try the others. Thanks for the extra ideas.
Use a small foam pad on a drill instead of a toothbrush, and you will get much better results. Then put a coat of wax on it and buff it out. When you've done that, use a nano wax product of your choice on the headlights, and follow up with a clean foam pad and you will have the best looking headlights around. Good luck with your restoration project, take care, and stay safe.
Only if you have a drill. As a woman I never had a need for a drill. I'm beginning to see a drill is actually a very helpful item for more than one type of use. I wouldn't know what kind to get though. Are they all the same? I miss my late husband 😒 he took care of all these kinds of things. Everybody should at least learn how to do stuff in case you find yourself in the position to need that skill. 👍
@@BabyMonkeyDefender Definitely get a drill. And different size drill bits. You can use the drill to make holes and to turn screws. It beats a butter knife. Look through some of his tools (if you kept any) I’ll bet you find all sort a helpful items. Then learn what they can do. Have fun with it and good luck. Happy New Year!
thank you so much,such a good video, I have spent alot of money on products trying to clear my bad headlights so really appreciate all the info- I had no idea about the clear coat.
Thank you for the science lesson, very interesting. Can I use these methods on my tail lights as well? And yes please let me know how to get rid of the moisture in my lights. This was a great video. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the video! My 09 Corolla had terrible yellowing and haze. Cheap kits I've used on other cars won't last long on this one. I'm waiting for the Sylvania kit to get here, but wanted to start the cleaning process so it'll be less work, and needed something that wouldn't leave residue. I was SO happy using the baking soda method, it was amazing, wish I knew of it earlier. I used a heavy paste and repeated it twice, 5-8 min each. The yellow is nearly gone and there's only a slight haze compared to what is was before. Will definitely keep baking soda in mind when I need a quick temporary fix. 😊
I'm a DIYer and I applaud your eloquent tutorial. 👏 Everyone should seek natural methods for EVERYTHING 🎯 Cleaning spray bottles kitchen cabinet: 1. White vinegar/water half n half 2. Enzymes (milk, pee(even cats) on your carpet; enzymes eat organic material!)3. Diluted Dr Bronners peppermint Castile soap for stains using hot water
Thank you for this wonderfully made video. You knocked this out of the park. Control areas to do side by side comparisons. The video is well laid out and even has labeled chapters. You avoided so many pitfalls of other DIY videos, explaining WHY things work with impressive detail, nobody ever explains why they work. You ACTUALLY reviewed every DIY solution you recommend. Can't tell you how many videos will spend most time on what they think the best one is (theyre usually wrong), and most of the other ones barely get mentioned or ever get explained. About to rinse off my headlights and enjoy a bit more lumens driving at night, they were dangerously bad. Thanks again 🙏🙂
FAST FAST FAST Acetone(nail varnish remover) on a microfibre cloth. One pass. Then autoglym(polish) spray and quick buff. Amazing result in about a minute and very little effort.
I use acetone nail polish remover too. Makes them crystal clear in one pass. Don't make more than one pass...additional passes cause the fog again. Don't get it on the paint. What is autoglym spray? Where do I get it, please?
I wish SOOOO MUCH whoever got the idea for these PLASTIC HEADLAMPS had them stuck where the sun don't shine. The GLASS Seal Beams were superior and CHEAP to replace. This is just another gimmick the CONSUMER ECONOMY has to keep people BROKE. But having said that, you did a GREAT JOB!!! I have ONE question though, after applying the clear coat, when it goes BAD, it will one of these days, how do you clean it THEN??? Great Video!!! BB
Just get a turtle wax restoration kit and put a lot of clear coating on after your done. The grit paper sands off all of the oxidation and the clear coat protects it from the sun for atleast a year. After any of these in this video you can expect oxidation after 3-6 months. That's why the kit is worth 20$.

Great Video! I am going to try this on my husband's Car since the lights have clouded over. I use the Magic Eraser on my car a lot. It gets all the black marks off of it and scratches beneath my door handles. It also...... rubs out significant scratches and scrapes. My husband scrapes up his car all the time on the front bumpers. The eraser got rid of 90 percent of the scratch last time. He couldn't believe it when I showed him.
Not quite, but it would be fine never to drink soda again. Our stomach acid pretty much wipes out bad stuff. Can you imagine if our stomach acid was poured on a,rusty nail? It would clean it lol.
Wrong, lol. You realize our stomachs are full of acid, right? And even in your mouth and throat, you have a constant supply of saliva and mucus that minimize any damage, much less the effects you see on plastic. And If you never brush your teeth with fluoride the sugar from the soda will lead to much more damage than any acid.
Yes ,Sir I've been doing some research on my lights even trued ceramic cleaner for glass stove tops which is a good cleaner only problem it did not last But now with the clear coat amazing . Wow thanks for your help 🙂. 🐝
Did wonderful job explaining and steps how each setups never thought use clear gloss paint on them I been using Baking soda Murry oil soap Mix into paste apply some into dry soft sponge rub it in reapply more paste when dryed out on you then rise off with water hoes this last for good 3 month. May try that clear coat trick next round. Again thank you for all your tips clearing the headlights lens and thank you for not applying annoying music with your video.
Hey…thanks for this video was very helpful for me to clean my headlights…….you answered a whole bunch of questions…thanks again…not taken for granted !!
Great video the charges shop charge for products is so ridiculous ur video are amazing n it cost next to nothing to clean headlights all da products u av in ur kitchen.very well executed
I had heard that you could pay to have someone else clean the headlights. I am 65 and on a fixed income. Your video helped me with my headlights. I favor the toothpaste and soft cloth method. I have assigned parking and drive less than 3,000 miles per year. So, I like the toothpaste result as it last longer for me due to my reduced driving. In a small town you only add up so much mileage. Thanks for your helpful tutorial.😊
WD40 works great for cleaning headlights. I live in AZ with lots of sun so a little WD 40 every now and then cleans those lights good without using expensive stuff.
I found that Everclear (190 proof alcohol) and a little elbow grease works great at cleaning hazy headlights. Yes, please show us how to remove moisture from inside of headlights. Thank you!
Thanks for being so clear about how to use each product. Some tutorials are too vague. In your opinion, what works best for really old cars? Ours is a 2004 and I need to do something with it!
If you want an effortlessly method coca cola is a great option. 20 - 30 mins should be good, just make sure to keep the paper towel moist all the time. The other good method you can try is the one with the baking soda. Or you can do both of this at the same time. Start with the coca cola and then to fine tune it, with the baking soda. Once the lenses are cleaner, its very important to put some type of sealant or coating to keep them lasting. I actually did mine long time ago and didn't put anything afterwards, but after a few months the lights started to look a lil yellowish (because no protectant)
For the protectant you can use a polish. Can be car polish or aluminum polish. This will protect your headlights from uv rays. Or you can just use Plastic X from meguiars (I have a link in the description) as a polish. This product is like $7 in walmart, it not only helps to protect but it also cleans. Hope, that helps. 👍
I just use acetone nail polish remover. Makes them crystal clear in one pass. Don't make more than one pass...additional passes cause the fog again. Don't get it on the paint.
You did a grate job at your video and all your steps worked but it will come back sometimes in days you really have to sand an buff. Clean and use a 2 part clear (clear an hardner ) witch you can get today in one can there is a button on the bottom of the can that u push 2 activate the 2k clear this will last 4yaers
Nice video. These are great hacks, especially if you have hazy headlights and you're going to the car lot to trade in your klunker. The only real way to actually have long lasting results is to sand the headlight lenses with several different grades of sand paper ending up with a 3600 to 4000 grit wet sanding cloth or paper. Then use a special clear coat that does not build up on the lenses.
Great video! I'd just used a bought restoral kit, which uses 800-1200-2000 grit wet&dry sandpaper, then a buffing compound, followed by a gloss coat which smells like glue. It gave a good outcome for $25Au.
How do you cover your car safely from the clear coat (the least expensive way)? Also, do you need to cover your paint job of your car when using any of these hacks? (or was this more to highlight your testing areas and controls?) I’m most likely going to use the baking soda/hydrogen peroxide/white vinegar method. Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful demo of these headlight restoration hacks!! Very much appreciated 😃🙏
When using vinegar, make sure to cover your paint. Vinegar is not going to damage your paint if it touches it, but if you leave residue on the paint, plus with the sun rays (heat), then that might be an issue. So make sure to rinse your paint from any products you use. Also, if applying the clear coat, you do want to cover your paint. You can use plastic bags, or you can buy some thin plastic sheets in walmart or Home Depot (should only be a few dollars) $3 to $5. When spraying, try it on a piece of cardboard or something. You can spray many light coats. Dont worry about covering all the surface, let it dry, and apply thin coats. It will all be covered eventually. This way, you will avoid over spraying the headlight. Good Luck 👍
I think I'll do the baking soda and vinegar this coming weekend. I have a 2000 Dodge Durango that could use it desperately. 😊😊. Thanks a lot. That's a lot cheaper than the kits they sell in the store to do it. Thanks again. Have a good week and God bless.
Thank you. I did many years ago pay to have them done but didn't last. I will be using one of your tips then clear coating. I sure appreciate you posting & showing all ways. 😊

Excellent! Everyone can see you put a lot of thought and work into this experiment. My hat is off to you.
Thanks for your advice. I found a bicarb (baking) soda toothpaste which worked really well. I was left with a fine haze, though.
My finishing touch was an application of "Brasso" metal polish: Rub on, leave to dry, then polish off vigorously with a soft cloth. The result is magic!
I use Brasso to clean scratches off CDs & DVDs too..!
I had a mechanic drill a couple if holes at bottom edge of a light to drain any trapped water. Works fine.

Very interesting! I am interested in learning how to clear water out of headlights! May never need to do but may share with someone else. Thanks!!
The rug seems to have a certain shimmer to it. It looks absolutely luxurious and exquisite! ❤😊
I used WD40 and it works great!
Hey…thanks for this video was very helpful for me to clean my headlights…….you answered a whole bunch of questions…thanks again…not taken for granted !!
Excellent ideas. Yes, I want to know how to remove moisture from the headlights.
Drill a small hole in one of the corner will clear the moisture out
Great video the charges shop charge for products is so ridiculous ur video are amazing n it cost next to nothing to clean headlights all da products u av in ur kitchen.very well executed
I had heard that you could pay to have someone else clean the headlights. I am 65 and on a fixed income. Your video helped me with my headlights. I favor the toothpaste and soft cloth method. I have assigned parking and drive less than 3,000 miles per year. So, I like the toothpaste result as it last longer for me due to my reduced driving. In a small town you only add up so much mileage. Thanks for your helpful tutorial.😊
We sound a lot alike. I'm fixing to clean my yellow headlights on my 2001 Tacoma and can't afford a professional.
Excellent video!!! Thank you so much. Will use these techniques on my vehicle this weekend.
Stay tuned.

Well done. This is a great tkutorial. Thanks so much.
Thank you man 👍
Thank you for your support 🙏💯
Thank you for this video! This will definitely help me out. Please show how to get moisture out of them also. Thanks again!
WD40 works great for cleaning headlights. I live in AZ with lots of sun so a little WD 40 every now and then cleans those lights good without using expensive stuff.
I have watched many videos but you are the only one that made sense. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this video
I’ll give those ideas a try
great simple information. will be doing my 2004 Xterra. Thank you Sir. - N.E. Minnesota USA.
Great secrets to know ,thanks .And great money savers also.
I found that Everclear (190 proof alcohol) and a little elbow grease works great at cleaning hazy headlights.
Yes, please show us how to remove moisture from inside of headlights. Thank you!
Thanks for being so clear about how to use each product. Some tutorials are too vague. In your opinion, what works best for really old cars? Ours is a 2004 and I need to do something with it!
If you want an effortlessly method coca cola is a great option. 20 - 30 mins should be good, just make sure to keep the paper towel moist all the time.
The other good method you can try is the one with the baking soda.
Or you can do both of this at the same time.
Start with the coca cola and then to fine tune it, with the baking soda.
Once the lenses are cleaner, its very important to put some type of sealant or coating to keep them lasting. I actually did mine long time ago and didn't put anything afterwards, but after a few months the lights started to look a lil yellowish (because no protectant)
For the protectant you can use a polish. Can be car polish or aluminum polish. This will protect your headlights from uv rays.
Or you can just use Plastic X from meguiars (I have a link in the description) as a polish. This product is like $7 in walmart, it not only helps to protect but it also cleans.
Hope, that helps. 👍
I just use acetone nail polish remover. Makes them crystal clear in one pass. Don't make more than one pass...additional passes cause the fog again. Don't get it on the paint.
Thanks for all the info. Very informative.
You did a grate job at your video and all your steps worked but it will come back sometimes in days you really have to sand an buff. Clean and use a 2 part clear (clear an hardner ) witch you can get today in one can there is a button on the bottom of the can that u push 2 activate the 2k clear this will last 4yaers
Thank you. I think after cleaning, I will use UV spray protectant designed for my RV roof' plastic covers.
If you have Mothers Mag Polish around your garage, it works great for cleaning headlights also.
I used this & it worked pretty well. I then put a coat of carnuba wax, polished it up nicely with some protection against further yellowing.
I ABSOLUTELY enjoyed your video. You explained everything very, very, well. I will watch all your videos. Thanks Again For The Tips..!!❤
Awesome job!! Thanks for the information!
Nice video. These are great hacks, especially if you have hazy headlights and you're going to the car lot to trade in your klunker. The only real way to actually have long lasting results is to sand the headlight lenses with several different grades of sand paper ending up with a 3600 to 4000 grit wet sanding cloth or paper. Then use a special clear coat that does not build up on the lenses.
Wonderful presentation.
Thank you for this information; those headlights look great. You just saved me $90.
Great video! I'd just used a bought restoral kit, which uses 800-1200-2000 grit wet&dry sandpaper, then a buffing compound, followed by a gloss coat which smells like glue. It gave a good outcome for $25Au.
I done my wifes honda and it looks like new again I strongly suggest the clear coat
Just wet sand the headlights with a really fine grit sand paper and then rinse clean then spray it clear coat.
Yep i use WD and it works 😊😊😊
That was amazing info, thanks
How do you cover your car safely from the clear coat (the least expensive way)? Also, do you need to cover your paint job of your car when using any of these hacks? (or was this more to highlight your testing areas and controls?) I’m most likely going to use the baking soda/hydrogen peroxide/white vinegar method.
Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful demo of these headlight restoration hacks!! Very much appreciated 😃🙏
When using vinegar, make sure to cover your paint. Vinegar is not going to damage your paint if it touches it, but if you leave residue on the paint, plus with the sun rays (heat), then that might be an issue. So make sure to rinse your paint from any products you use.
Also, if applying the clear coat, you do want to cover your paint. You can use plastic bags, or you can buy some thin plastic sheets in walmart or Home Depot (should only be a few dollars) $3 to $5. When spraying, try it on a piece of cardboard or something. You can spray many light coats. Dont worry about covering all the surface, let it dry, and apply thin coats. It will all be covered eventually. This way, you will avoid over spraying the headlight. Good Luck 👍
Very good advice ! Smart ! Thank you !
Very clear precise direction. Thank you so much 👍❗
I think I'll do the baking soda and vinegar this coming weekend. I have a 2000 Dodge Durango that could use it desperately. 😊😊. Thanks a lot. That's a lot cheaper than the kits they sell in the store to do it. Thanks again. Have a good week and God bless.
Thanks for the headlight restoration video! I learned a lot and I'm going to try it out on my 08 Ram 1500:)
I heard Cutter insecr repellent worked. I tried it and yes it worked..
Thank you. I did many years ago pay to have them done but didn't last. I will be using one of your tips then clear coating. I sure appreciate you posting & showing all ways. 😊
Very good job,great information
I myself have been using white vineager for years on my headlights ! It works great !😊
They both look good, but I like the combo side better. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Love this! Can't wait to try! I would like to see how to remove the moisture.
