How can I clean ''foggy'' plastic headlight lenses.

It looks like I have a lamp out because lenses are "clouded", almost look "sandblasted". When I scrape gently with a fingernail, it seems like "film" may come off, but I don't want to use abrasive and make problem worse.

Can go to auto zone they have a scrubbing disc to get the haze off headlights, worked great for mine you just stick them in a cordless drill and buff them.

You can use a very fine steel wool to remove the film. You dont have to press hard to remove it. Pressing hard may result in scratched lenses, however if there is a film, you can remove it useing fine steel wool. There are 4 (i think) grades of steel wool, 0, 00, 000, and 0000. The 0000 is the finest grade of steel wool. Many carpenters use this when wood working to help with the wood finish. It helps polish the stains.

Cleaning foggy, oxidized headlight covers on my 2000 Subaru Outback with household items?nck AWD, 4 cylinder wagon...with?

Rubbing compound will buff off the oxidation that effects (clouds) the outside surface of plastics. Some waxes have a little abrasive that will help do this. Toothpaste will also work mixed with wax. Use some muscle and buff til it is dry to restore the plastic gloss. Shops use an electric or pneumatic buffer with a wool or foam pad and extra fine rubbing compound.

My headlights keep burning out, both bright and normal. They seem to be shorting out and it's getting expensive. Right after I replace one, the other one burns out! My lens covers are also no longer clear,...

If both lenses are foggy chances are your bulbs are acting like fuses and when wet/damp blowing,reseal with silicon,or replace lenses.(when lenses get foggy it is also a sign that the chrome has oxidised.)

Headlights

there should be 3 or 4 little plastic nuts in the back of the headlights if you can loosen them up until they come off the headlights should be able to slide right out.
