And that’s a mistake; not only are dirty headlights a safety hazard, they also reduce the lifespan of your headlights significantly. In this blog post, we will show you how to clean the inside of a sealed headlight without damaging it.

How to Clean the Inside of a Sealed Headlight
If you’re like most people, you clean your headlights every time you get a chance. But what if the headlight is sealed? You don’t have to worry: we’ll show you how to clean the inside of a sealed headlight.
First, make sure that the headlight is free from dirt, dust, and other debris. Next, use a damp cloth to clean the surface of the light. Make sure that all of the dirt and debris is removed. Finally, use an approved sealant or cleaner to polish the surface of the light.
What You’ll Need
To clean the inside of a sealed headlight, remove the outer light casing by unscrewing it from the lens. Use a blunt object to pry off any adhesive that may have been used to secure the casing. Pay particular attention to the area around the lenses where dust and debris can accumulate. Once the casing is free, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the inside of the lens. Be sure to get into all crevices and corners. Finally, use a clean cloth or paper towel to dry everything off.
How to Clean the Inside of a Sealed Headlight
If your headlight is sealed, you’ll need to clean the inside. This is a two-part process: first, remove the light bulb and sealant; then, clean the area.
To remove the light bulb and sealant, first unscrew the lightbulb. If it’s a Halogen type, simply pull it out. If it’s a LED type, use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the plastic cover near the base of the lightbulb. Once the cover is off, use a hairdryer (on low) to heat up the inside of the lightbulb until it starts to melt. Be careful not to overheat or you’ll damage your light bulb! Once the cover has melted, gently pull it off and discard it.
Next, clean the area around where the light bulb was located. Use a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters to suck up any debris that might have been left behind. Make sure to get into all corners and crevices! Finally, wipe down everything with a damp cloth to clean it up.
