Headlight problems

Hey guys i have an 07 g35s with the active headlights and they are starting to get all hazy and such inside and out. the thing about the inside part is i never see moisture inside them so idk how its happening. wondering if there is a place here in the states that you may know of that can open these bad boys up and clean them for me and reseal them properly without me having to spend 1k on new lights. which its impossible to find with the active bulbs. id like to maybe throw a halo in them also possibly. let me know if you have any contacts or someone i can send these to. thanks

Unfortunately you can't clean the inside of the lenses. They have a coating on them that prevents it. More than likely though, it's just the outside that's messed up. The stock lights are sealed very well and it would be hard to get something inside them unless you have a crack or hole.

Tim's correct....^....just buy a headlight restoration kit (3M) and get rid of the haze yourself, it's easy!

OP - There are a ton of headlight restoration kits available. Shop around, find the best kit for your needs, and give it a go. Pretty straightforward DIY that could make a big difference.

Against my own beliefs about headlight resoration kits, I decided to try the Turtle Wax kit. It was $8 or something like that and worked really well to my amazement.

Or you can just use a dab (1/2 teaspoon) of good toothpaste, which has polishing agents. Rub it in a circular motion with a wet micro-fiber towel, and do the entire lens. It will remove the haze within seconds. Once you've done this, rinse the headlights, dry them well, and then apply a coat of good sealant (I use Collinite 845), buff it off once it dries, and you're good for 12-18 months.

I started this with my 1992 Volvo 240D nearly 10 years ago, never fails. My dad's been doing this for >35 years, and it works just as well as the new on-the-market products.

Total cost = 10-15 cents + a little elbow grease, and equally effective as the $8-12 products.

Good luck
