Dust Inside My Headlights.....HELP!?!?!

So apparently dust seems to get into my headlights easily. You can't really tell during the day, but once i turn my lights on you can really see it and I just find it annoying. Does anybody else have this problem??? and does anybody know the best way to fix or get rid of the dust????


Thanks

you mean oxidation? I'm sure you can find numerous references through search. Just type in "Headlight oxidation" or "Headlight dust".

Are you serious? You actually felt the need to give someone this kaka advice? C'mon....


As for the OP. Take a Vacuum and duct take a plastic flexy straw to it. Insert it into the headlamp after removing one of the bulbs and see if you can suck out the bigger bits. I don't know how but I had a small plant seed in my taillights and I got it out using this method.

I've heard of water in the headlights before, and the dealer replaces them free. Shouldn't they do that for this problem too? Aren't these supposed to be sealed?

I'm no help. lol
