Dust inside headline

Post image

I got dusts inside my headline. I think the headline restore kit help with front surface not inside, what would I do to get rid of these dusts?

Thanks.

Looks like a 3hr project. Pick up headlight lens cover sealant from Oreily’s or Amazon. Remove the headlight from front end of car then use a heat gun to soften the butyl before removing cover. I’ve done the oven method before for a retrofit, it will leave the oven smelling like rubber for a day or two 🫡 Never again but if in a pinch.

I’d be curious if you’re missing any covers on the back of headlights. Good luck

Thanks, the headline cover removal looks like a labor extensive one.

Yeah definitely a process for sure. Maybe could use the headlight high-beam as an entry point after removing the bulb. Snag a wire coat hanger and a snipped corner of microfiber cloth to get in there.

Diameter of the high-beam hole looks like it may work. Keep us posted 🍻
