How to Restore the Initial Brightness of the Headlights on a Honda City
Model: Honda City
MK 3, 3A, SX
- Years 1996-2002
As the vehicle ages, the headlights, especially the front ones, become cloudy. Besides being unsightly, they no longer illuminate the road as they should. Changing the bulbs is useless; you need to remove the cloudiness from the lens. Follow the method demonstrated by our YouTuber, who shows two different techniques by dividing the headlight in half with tape: In the first part, use common toothpaste and clean it thoroughly with an old toothbrush and water. Let it sit and rinse well. The result is a slight improvement because toothpaste is only mildly abrasive. Now, let's try another method: Clean the other half of the headlight well and use 1500 grit sandpaper while wetting the headlight with soapy hot water. Rub for a couple of minutes. Dry it and repeat the process with 2000 grit sandpaper. Dry it again and see the difference. It has improved, but it's still not perfect. Now, let's try an abrasive paste, which you can find on major e-commerce platforms at prices ranging from $5 to $20, depending on the quality. The carnauba wax recommended by the YouTuber is better to buy in good quality, costing about $24. Start with the abrasive paste, applying it with a soft cloth mounted on a low-speed drill, twice. The second time at a higher speed, and you'll see that magically the headlight assembly becomes bright again. Now apply a layer of wax, let it dry for a few minutes, and then buff at low speed. Perfect result.
