well tonight I was baking the headlight painting the inside, I have everything done, I went to clean the inside of the light and I thought I grabbed the window cleaner......

I grabbed the brake cleaner..........completely fogged my lense and it will not come off. So a 260 dollar lesson. AHHHHHHHHHH

Did it just hazed the inside of the light? I find it amazing how the outside of the lens is durable as hell but the inside is fragile and sensitive to whatever you put on it.

Turtle wax sells a headlight restorer product that you can try. It's less than $15.00....better than spending $260. By the way, I've seen them on ebay for under $100 and even as low as $25
