pbryant_knight Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Welcome to the forum. You're in the right place for help You can just replace the glass i believe. You can buy replacements from Halfords but i got my last one for the Honda off e-bay. You can clean the lens yourself if it's just the outside. The bodyshop that sprayed my car done mine for free while it was there Something like this maybe http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Plastic-Headlight-Lense-Polish-Cleaner_W0QQitemZ300355464892QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item45ee94aebc Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi mate, welcome to the forum we need pics of the car if you need any parts check the traders on here - kerons really good for second hand bits and bobs. The headlights can be brought upto a decent look using meguires plast x. check my garage for pics of how good mine turned out after using this. its avaliable from Halfords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Longbowtfc Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think it the inside of lens that gone yellow , but wonder if I should take the headlight apart n clean it from there . But what the best thing to use to seal it back up. About the side mirror do I just take the mirror out or do I have to take the unit out to replace it . Yes it my first car so my I'm very new to it heh thank for helping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest suprastar380bhp Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) To get rid of the yellow lenses you need to get some buffing compound (cutting compound that they finnish freshly painted cars off with from a paint shop? and buff the yellow off with a buffer fitting, by fitting it to the end of a drill or something like that, elbow grease will take for ever and will not do a good job Edited November 25, 2009 by suprastar380bhp (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
