Getrag Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I bought these to experiment doing the whole refurb thing. They are in good condition. I put them in the oven, carefully opened them and used brasso and Novus 1 plastic polisher to clean both the inside and the outside of the lens. I good amount of elbow grease went in there. I also cleaned the shiny and black inner parts. To try and prevent any moisture I have also sealed in a little bag of silica gel/powder in each light to remove moisture. As you can see are the before, during and after pics. Someone borrowed the digi cam before I got a chance to take a pic of both of them done but rest assured they both came out equally shiny. I was actually quite surprised. Get yourself a set of philips bulbs and these lights will really improve your lighting. Looks like glass but on a budget. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=59734 PM me an offer please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 how come you didn't paint them while you had them open? you would have got a fair bit more on the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 I considered that but didnt for 2 reasons. I like the crystal clear look better and the ones that are painted always look like poorer copies. If they dont sell or I've got some free time I'll crack them open and paint them.
