Default Cleaning Inside of Headlight - Blobeye

Hi,

My blobeye headlights are pretty murky in the inside. I've polished the outside of the headlights so I know that the problem is in the inside.

I was going to open them up using the de-tangoing process and give them a thorough clean inside.

However, I read elsewhere that you shouldn't touch the inside lens of the headlight as this will damage the UV coating and make the haziness even worse.

Has anyone cleaned the inside lens before? I'd hate to open them up and make it worse!

Cheers.

Bit of a bump for this one - mine are getting increasingly hazy.. Is possible to get replacement glass (if I was to remove the glass to fit headlight projectors, or example), or is it possible to clean the inside once the glass is off?

Clean it. Headlight cleaning kits for plastic lights available online, car accessory shops or Hell Frauds.

Any recommendations? The Meguiars 'One Step' kit seems to get good reviews? I'd imagine they're all much of a muchness?
