        how to clean your head lights

        this is your guide to clean your headllights.lol
        1) just go into your girl's stuff
        2) get some cotton pads or a towl(whatever works,rags,etc.)
        3) get some nail polish remover
        4) use the towls/cotton-pads and nail polish remover to take away the yellow and whatever else is on the headlight.
        enjoy the clean headlights...

            Ok, I dont usually cuss at anyone, but, you my friend, are an idiot.
            I have the Jspecs, you can only aim up or down, not side to side!
            However, the left-hand drive aim on the 97/8 JDM headlights are not that bad. I havent even been flashed while driving before.

            (Oh yeah, BTW, A-Spec=asian spec...USDM is what is used for North American cars)

                    the important part about what is shown is the projection of the excess light to the left of the car an not the right (into on coming traffic here in the US) with a J-spec light.

                    The not having a lot of light is really not that big an issue. In close the lights do not have a lot of spread so they are focusing more of the light farther out (hence the really bright points in the pic). When you drive with these you get much better distance visibility. That's the difference with NA lights... the patterns are much much wider. So while it looks like you are throwing a lot more light, it is really just a lot more scattered into areas that do not help you see the road better at night.

                    Hence getting an E-spec light, which has a similar reflector to the J-spec but casts the excess to the right hand side instead, will yield a better light pattern for night time driving over a NA spec light.

                        Another product designed to clean headlight covers can be found at: liteswap.com
                        Go to Other Products and click on Headlight Resurfacing Kits. the cost is US $30. I haven't used the product myself but liteswap is a reliable vendor and you might want to check with him, as it looks like it could be a good way to clean up the plastic covers.

                          Just cleaned my headlights . That works pretty good for just 10$(CDN) . It called PLASTX not plastic X , and could be found in Canadian tire stores . Manufacturer is Meguiars and I've seen something similar in a Wallmart .
