Guest Johnnynhl Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi my soops failed it's MOT due to the J Spec plastic headlight lens diffusing the beam. Any advice, repair or replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 try cleaning/polishing the outside first before you crack open the headlight itself, sometimes the majority of the dirt and yellowing is on the outside. -edit- if you do decide to open them up to polish both sides check out the tech articles on mkiv.com, there is a giude for doing it on there.

3LL Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 bit of t-cut on the outside and a good ten minutes elbow grease per lense got rid of half the yellow fading on mine.. im still not 100% happy with them but there at least 50% better than they were!
