I assume your headlamps are hazzy? If so theres a post on the International site of someone slosshing a chemical around on the inside which removes the haze. If its on the outside a fine compound will make them look new.
Yes I read that thread - it may be worth a try. Mine are rough on the outside and stained inside, and one headlamp has a broken mounting bracket on the back and someone has done a fairly tidy diy repair on this, so I would prefer to at least replace that one.
My plan is to strip down the lamps to refurbish them. This has been done successfully by one of our UKC members when he fitted angel eyes inside and there is a thread in here somewhere explaining how he did it, though great care is needed due to the brittle plastics used in the parts.
Some though is required to cure the internal misting which seems to be caused by the moisture in the air being drawn into the units via the rear breather durring cooling after use. Ive got an idea on this and will start a thread about it.
