Tips for Cleaning Your Harley Davidson Headlight

Tips for Cleaning Your Harley Davidson Headlight

Brittany Trahan |

Anyone who owns a Harley Davidson should know the importance of their headlights, as they’re your only tool to see in dark places or at night. That’s why knowing how to clean them is so important for your safety and the safety of other drivers. Here are some tips to help you know how to clean your headlights.

Cleaning Supplies

To clean your headlights, you need quality cleaning supplies, so you don’t damage the lights or the casing. A good abrasive cleaning material will help you clean off your lights quickly and without issues. You should also use a soft towel when cleaning your lights, so the material doesn’t scratch the glass. Many places do suggest a variety of household items, but this can lead to a lot of problems for both the lights and the rest of your Harley.

When It’s Time To Clean

An important part you need to know about cleaning is how to determine when it’s time to clean your headlights. While you can and should follow a regular cleaning schedule, you may need to clean your headlights more often. The best way to tell when it’s time to clean is by looking at the light. If the light seems to come out blurry from your headlights, this means it’s dirty, which affects the lights. Using LED lights can make it more obvious that the lights are blurry, which is one reason people use motorcycle LED headlight kits to switch out their headlights.

Headlight Alignment

When you clean your headlights, you’ll often shift and move the lights around. This is dangerous as the lights are very directional, and if they shine in the wrong direction, they won’t help you see. That’s why one of the most important tips you should remember about cleaning your Harley’s headlights is to make sure that your headlights are facing the right way after you’re done cleaning them.

These are the things you should know when it comes to your headlights and how to clean them. Keeping your Harley’s headlights clean is important for the safety of you and every other driver. Therefore, regular cleanings are vital, and forgetting to clean your headlights can even get you a ticket for unsafe conditions.
