Headlight Refurbishing

Yeah mine are just really quite cloudy and have some glue left on the outside from when I took the silly looking eyebrows off it. Might try giving it a go myself but am always scared I make more of a mess when it comes to this sort of thing :D

 

Top tip if you have discoloured or cloudy plastic lenses.

 

Head down the old hardware store and grab a bottle of BRASSO copper cleaner fluid. Rub this into the plastic either by hand cloth application or preferably mechanically using a mop. Allow to dry and buff off. You should see quite an improvement. Repeat the BRASSO treatment. Buff. Then do a car polish treatment and buff. Doing this will bring hazy or yellowed lenses 80% back to original clarity.

£60 for both?

 

Yes mate, to paint both lights :)

 

 

I might be interested in de-lining my pre-facelifts if that can be done. I painted my chrome rings, I dont think it looks too bad

 

I've done it once but unfortunately it's not something I would offer. It takes a ridiculous amount of hours to get the lenses de-lined, I was on a set for days on end and I ended up selling them with just the final touches to be done as I couldn't be bothered with them any more lol.

 

The de-lined look is great though, I would probably suggest going down the "buy 2nd hand and give it a go" route :)
