Is it possible to buy replacement plastic lenses for mini-facelift headlights,as despite trying to remove the marks on the original lenses they are still very poor....the headlights work fine being xenons but would like them to look clean aswell.
Sure I read that you can cut through the sealant and remove the lense,but can you get new ones ?
-
Projectors will be better as the dont need any wire mods to fit.

Sorry..think wrong end of stick...I havre got HID headlights it is the lenses that are badly marked and despite extensive attempts to clean,they still look crap...is it possible to cut of the old plastic lense and then buy a new lense and rebond it ?
-
Sorry but I have made contact with Hella in the past and they were not intrested in supplying the lense even though they are removable from the lamp unit.
But cleaning with an abrasive paste will make quite an impact on the lense.
My pre facelift is much clearer after cleaning this way.
-
Thanks..sure there was a guide on method to restore on here ? unsure if the magic "snake oil treatments" that say they restore lenses,from egay, are any good.
-
Sorry mate but manual labour is the only thing need for this task
-
Lenses officially not removable from headlight, thus not available seperately.

Ian....if it wasn,t such a long way from me I might take you up on that offer,and buy you several pints...

Steve....that cleaner you mentioned...does it require the headlights out the car to avoid contact with paintwork ,or is it just a case of being extra carefull.?
