Re: Headlights

What exactly is discolored? Inside or outside of the lens?

Re: Headlights

The outside is definitely discolored. Not sure of the inside. Can the lens be removed(2 piece?) from the assembly and if so, how? If nothing can be done, can I purchase the lens seperately as opposed to a complete assembly?
Thanks.

Re: Headlights

Use a little Mothers Metal Polish on the outer plastic lens, it'll cut through the build up but it may not be able to completely restore the lens; it depends on how bad they're disclored. It may take a few applications and a lot of elbow grease but it'll help.

Re: Headlights

If that doesn't work..you only choice my be new headlight units. They are 230.00 each from SDPC. I wouldn't want to try and replace the plastic..it would just lead to condensation and water leaks.
