Hi guys

Anyone know I can get those headlamp covers to get clear. They are cloudy plastic. I heard from someone that you can buff them up with a special solution and some elbow grease. Is this true? Your help would be appreciated.

Best regards
Anthony

Replace them (the whole light unit) with projectors, fairly cheap and will improve output considerably.

Try one of the breakers here, maybe RobG?

Yes they do, they are fitted to cars post 1998, and should just slot straight in:



Its up to the breaker if they are willing to post to Spain, parts have been sent abroad before. 

Perhaps some arrangement can be made via Varche? (spanish member)

D'oh forgot they don't have the switch lever like HID's

Until you replace them...you can clear the ones you have with normal T-Cut and a fair bit of elbow grease...may need 2 or 3 coats if they are really bad but should come up like new

Great tip thanks
Now what is the Spanish version of T Cut ? lol

....

F/L = facelift ie later cars. Their headlights are a different shape from yours

HID headlamps have a lever inside which cut off the up sweep of a dipped headlight ie for RHD they appear something like \_____   \_____ when shone against a garage door. Your LHD lights will appear _____/   _____/ 

When the lever is moved across the beam you'll get   ____  ____  whether RHD or LHD. The lever won't make a RHD headlight into a LHD light or vice versa 

[Anthony in Madrid]

So ....I need them with the levers right? (Sorry I have newbieitis at the moment   :-/
Also Rob wrote..."D'oh forgot they don't have the switch lever like HID's" HID'S??? Is that a specific model for specific Omegas or specific years. What do the letters stand for?

Cheers a lot
