Headlight Cleaning

Hello Everyone,

I recently clean my cars headlight's glass from inside and outside with MB cleaning kit, it was pretty easy. However, I wonder how can I clean headlight's lenses (they are little blurry), I actually don't know the specific name of it, I added some image which explanes my question.

Thank You!

I'm guessing you are referring to the round area which is your actual HID or LED light output. If you want to clean this is is inside the actual headlight. You would need to remove the headlight cover glass. In order to do that you need high heat to separate it. Usually putting headlight in the oven does the trick and you just reseal it back again. I dont know that required temperature or length of time for MB headlights Other than that I personally do not know of another way to do so.

Thank you for your response. Today I made some research and asked several repair services, they suggested me the same way, applying high-temp unsealing but I think dismantling factory sealed headlight would not be same as factory sealed after all process. I wonder what kind of liquid can I use to clean if I reach leds.
