i bought a pair of H4 Headlights, the ones with a flat front and the bulbs plug in and out.
They are new but must not have been stored and sealed well. They seem to have a haze or sticky dust insid them on the reflector and on the inside of the glass. The opening is a little small to get my hand in there to clean. Can I put these in the dishwasher, opening side down and wash? use heat dry? |

Had the same problem. I cleaned my H4's by removing the bulb and adding warm water with Dawn dishwashing detergent. I had a bottle brush, the old style with a twisted wire shaft with a mop-like head of soft string, which I used to gently scrub the inside of the glass lens. I avoided the reflective surface as I was afraid I might damage the coating. I rinsed and let air dry. They came out very clean and clear.
