Over time, car headlights can become foggy or yellowed due to oxidation, dirt, and grime, reducing their brightness and your safety. Thankfully, you can restore them to their original clarity using simple household items or commercial products. Here’s how:
Option 1: Baking Soda and Toothpaste Method (DIY Approach)
Supplies Needed:
Toothpaste (non-gel, preferably whitening)
Baking soda (optional, for extra grit)
Soft microfiber cloth
Water
Sponge or old toothbrush
Instructions:
Clean the Headlight: Wash the headlight with soap and water to remove loose dirt and grime. Dry with a clean cloth.
Apply Toothpaste: Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto the headlight lens. For extra grit, mix the toothpaste with a teaspoon of baking soda.
Scrub Gently: Using a soft cloth or old toothbrush, scrub the lens in circular motions, applying moderate pressure. Focus on heavily fogged areas.
Rinse and Wipe: Rinse the headlight with clean water and wipe it dry with a microfiber cloth.
Repeat if Necessary: If the headlight isn’t clear after the first round, repeat the process.
Option 2: Vinegar and Baking Soda Solution (Eco-Friendly)
Supplies Needed:
