a little popup headlight advice
 
Don't forget to WASH them!

On a whim, I popped my headlights in the daytime to take a look at them (the right side pops up real slow sometimes), only to discover that in my 5 years of ownership, I never, NOT ONCE, washed the headlights.

I had tons of salt, snow, tar, dirt, sand, grime, grease, oil and polution buildup. Since cleaning that off, it's like i have all new headlights.

What else have you forgot to clean/maintain in the five years of ownership?

yeah but those clean just about as good as spraying the windsheild without turning on the wipers

How do you lube the headlight mechanism? Anything needs to take apart to do that? It's pretty cramped there.

heheh... I've been tryin to figure that out since they got jammed. ;) (about 6 months ago... :D)

I dunno... just look around I guess... I think you prolly have to remove the side things... I took mine off anyway 'cause I'm still diagnosing some electronics problems...
