tomgeer Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just seeing if there's any interest in these. I bought these and refurbed them myself to practice on before doing my own set. I think they have come out well, however i've done my other set now so these are surplus to requirements. If anyone wants any more photo's of them let me know what you specifically want to see and pm me your email address. In my opinion they look in very good condition overall, they have been wet sanded inside and out, then finished with a machine polisher using G3 cutting compund then plasticX so no yellowing at all. If you were being extremely fussy then I would say they are not 100% perfect, you can see tiny little (P2000) scratch marks in the lenses but these are not noticable until up very close. These are much tidier than most s/h sets available. Only bad point in my opinion is the slight marks on the passenger side one (can't get it to show up well on camera, its just about noticable on the photo taken from above, looking down on the lense). These marks are only noticable from looking at the headlight from a certain angle above it. I couldn't sand this out because it appears to be in between the two sides of the plastic. I've taken more photo's of the passenger side light because that is the one with the imperfections noted above. The drivers side one is better with nothing worth commenting on. These lights have had the old sealant completely removed and re-sealed with windscreen sealant, which I haven't smeared all over the place like some i've seen. I've driven the car around for about a month with them fitted and they haven't misted up at all but this was usually on dry days, they don't appear to have any leaks, i've washed the car several times with no after effects, i've used plenty of sealant so there shouldn't be any problems. The chrome rings were sanded down, masked off and sprayed in silver paint then laquered. The inserts are matt black. If you do a search for "headlight refurb", I did a quick thread on the refurb with more photo's and details. I'd be looking at sensible offers only, bear in mind a knackered set of genuine facelifts in need of work will set you back at least £150-£200 and i've done the hard graft so they are ready to fit Please remember these are refurbed and not brand new, I don't want any one coming back to me once they have bought them if they spot a tiny blemish here and there, I have been completely honest with the description so there will be no refunds. I am willing to box up and post to UK only via TNT Cheers Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
