Angry Cleaning HID lenses....

When I bought my 2002 TL S I was so happy with the look of the HID's... they were so clear and clean. Now, no matter how hard I clean the outside of the lens, the inside seems dirty... seems as though there is a film inside the lens.

Is there a way to clean the inside of the lens?

Am I the only one that notices this..?

If you don't want to spend the money for a pair of new housings, take apart the housing and clean it...then re-seal them up. You might have fogging issues though.. so, try PM'ing "Mr " .. he clears headlights for $150+sh. I'm pretty sure he could clean it as well. I've heard only good things from people that got their lights cleared by him. Good luck!

either that or the outer lense is starting to get pitted and is yellowing in the pits. meguairs makes a plastic/glass polish for that, and it works great

Polish works extremely well I have found.

Only problem is you have to keep doing it every 2-3 weeks.

Doesn't take long though.
