Andrew K Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Has anybody had similar happen to there facelift headlights? I bought these brand new about 5 or 6 years ago, I have started to notice Over the last year or so that there are some bubbles appearing in the grey / brown ish trim Around the fog light lens! Haven't got it happening anywhere else on the lights. Not a happy chap as seeming these where bought brand new would have thought they would Have lasted longer than this before deteriorating!

Andrew K Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 We have the same problem on the O/S headlight. Have you noticed if its started spreading or got any bigger on your headlight? My car doesn't go out that much especially at night and the bubbles in my headlights seem to be spreading and getting bigger. That area is metal not plastic When I open my old set this just unclips That's interesting as thought they'd be plastic, did you pull yours apart to refurbish them as you had the same problem?

Andrew K Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 I have new now I refurb old sets 2 years ago but not due to that If this spreads anymore I will have to buy some more as it's bugging me now! I did wonder if there was a chance I could refurb them (as not that old) but don't think I have nerve to go sticking these in the oven and ruining them.

wile e coyote Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 It is very easy to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 It is very easy to do I have read this but also read that you can easily go to far and melt the lenses (which is what I'm worried about!) also not sure what you'd use to glue / re-seal them again?
