Car windows can easily become cloudy or greasy due to various factors. If not cleaned promptly, the car's headlights can quickly become moldy. In this article, we will discuss how to clean the cloudy interior of car headlights. 

In fact, the interior of car windows rarely gets splashed with water from outside the car, so occurrences of cloudy interior car windows are quite rare. However, when the interior of the car's headlights becomes cloudy, it must be cleaned immediately.  

Causes of Cloudy Interior Car Headlights 

The interior of car headlights usually appears cloudy due to various reasons. For example, raindrops that enter through the gaps of the car's headlights, then dry and leave stains in that area. 

Sometimes, the interior of car headlights is rarely cleaned, leading to mold that typically grows on car glasses. Therefore, if you rarely clean that part of the car's headlights, the glass is likely to become cloudy. 

Additionally, the reason why the interior of car headlights becomes cloudy is due to the declining quality of the car's headlight glass. Sometimes, the interior car glass can also get scratched due to impacts, which causes its quality to deteriorate. 

How to Clean Cloudy Interior Car Headlights 

When you find the interior of your car's headlights cloudy or not as clear as usual, first identify the cause. Usually, interior car headlights that are cloudy due to mold or raindrop stains can be cleaned easily. 

Here are the steps to clean the cloudy interior of car headlights: 

  1. Prepare the tools needed to clean the interior of the car headlights (headlamp). For example, a hairdryer, pliers, glass cleaner, water, car shampoo, and a screwdriver. Also, make sure to prepare a power outlet.
  2. Turn on the hairdryer, then heat the glass cover of the car's headlights to slightly expand it so it can be removed from its place. Make sure to turn on the hairdryer and heat the headlight cover until it is warm enough.
  3. Carefully remove the car's glass cover from its place with the help of a screwdriver until it comes off. Try not to injure the car's headlights to avoid damage.
  4. If the headlamp glass has been removed, wash that part with car shampoo and water carefully. Ensure that the cloudy part is completely clean before reassembling.
  5. Dry the car's headlights with a cloth or a drier towel carefully. This is to prevent the car's headlights from getting scratches or marks.
  6. If you want to reattach the cleaned car headlights, make sure to heat them with a hairdryer first. Once they have expanded, carefully reattach the headlights to their place.

That is how to clean the cloudy interior of car headlights with easy and practical steps. You no longer need to call a motor vehicle repair service to fix that temporary abnormality. 

Certainly, if you want to choose a car with high-quality and durable headlight glass, choose one from the Daihatsu brand. Cars produced by Daihatsu have very good headlight glass quality and are not easily cracked or moldy. 

Take It to an Official Daihatsu Workshop If Experiencing Severe Damage

By servicing at an official workshop, your car will be repaired with original spare parts and handled by experienced and certified mechanics.
