Dirty headlights (Anchorage, Eagle: condo, buying, live)

[AADAD]

after a 12 mile ride to work my headlights are so dirty the light barely makes it through. I wont get out and clean em on the highway (condolences to the man killed in Chugiak) and installing wipers is way to expensive. Does anyone here have a solution that you use. I mean seriously.

Dim your dash lights or turn them off for better night vision.

Drive backward

I carry one of those squeegees with a built in spray bottle and keep it filled with washer atifreeze fluid. I just check my lights as part of my routine walk around the car every morning. That's about all you can do short of stopping during your trip. Fortunately my wife's Volvo has headlight washers.

If ours got really bad on the way into Anchorage we'd usually pull off at the Eagle River exit to clean them off; that's about all you can do. Of course it helped having McDonalds there to grab a hot cup of coffee. I do agree with you about not stopping on the highway to do it.

Ditto - I just make sure to clean 'em off before each vehicle use.
Welcome to the phenomenon of "road spray"

Just buy a Mercedes. Most come with wipers over the light assemblies

But seriously, just wipe the lights with a dry rag when you live your home. Also, a lot of people install fog lights on their cars, but I haven't seen the need to do so. In relation to wipers and lights, it's the driver's responsibility to take care of them. If one can't afford buying these, one should not be driving. Just imagine the huge liability one assumes for driving without wipers and lights!
