<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCar headlights have two sides that need to be cleaned; the inner and outer sides. The way they need to be cleaned varies a bit, depending on the type of headlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The different types of headlights include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sealed headlights<\/em>– this type of headlight comes in a maximum of four light system designs. Each system features both low and high beams depending on the number of bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nComposite headlights<\/em>– this headlight system features a replaceable lighting system. It consists of plastic lenses with space left out by designers to install a navigation lamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHID headlights<\/em>– this type of headlight contains xenon gas. It is four times longer than the composite headlight. They have a bright beam, which is why they\u2019re called High-intensity discharge (HID) headlights. They are more expensive to replace than sealed or composite headlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\nProjector headlights<\/em>– these headlights are mainly for focus. They come in both HID and halogen versions. They are more expensive to purchase and replace than sealed, composite, or HID lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLed lights<\/em>– this type of headlight is the most advanced in technology. They make use of light-emitting diodes instead of filament bulbs. They use less energy than other headlights. However, the light they emit is almost the same as the other types of headlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Cleaning the outside of the headlights<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFollow these steps to clean the outer side of your headlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Mix the baking soda and vinegar in the ratio of 2:1. This mixture leads to carbon dioxide gas that helps lift dirt from the headlamp.<\/li>
- Add liquid soap into the mixture.<\/li>
- Dip the cloth into the mixture.<\/li>
- Use the cloth to scrub the outer part of the headlight.<\/li>
- Repeat the process until the outer part is clean.<\/li>
- When you are satisfied that it is clean, rinse with clean water and dry it with a dry cloth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to clean the inside of your headlights <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAfter you clean the outer side of the headlight, you will then move to the inside. The inner side is more complicated to clean because it is sealed in the car. How you access it depends on the type of headlight. You will have to remove the headlight box from the front of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
