Headlight lenses, 740.

    I dropped a headlight the other day when removing it and shattered the
    lense, as one does. It wasn't too disastrous as it had a nasty stone chip
    in it anyway. I got a new one and installed it. I now have a nice, very
    clear, lense and a rather dirty old lense on the other side. Would it be
    worth taking the other lense out and giving it a good wash inside and out,
    or does the dirt bond with the glass after a time.

    It's not important, just cosmetic.

    Mine washed up great in the dishwasher. Wife almost used one as a casserole
    dish :)

    Try the dishwasher and efter that some polishing can be needed.

    It's worth trying to give it a good scrub, but often the glass gets pitted
    so an old one will never look as good as a new one. Mine had minor pitting
    in the glass when I got them, I applied that protective film and it made
    them look like new.
