That's a lot of work/maintenance, kudos to you. The lights look brand new what did you use to restore them?

Thanks!
Mostly just various grit sandpaper and about 3 hours by hand. Then a sealant once done. I have questions about how well the sealant did based on how they look now though oil and coolant did get on them. The left one still has a haze, but I think it's from internal gunk. Going to use the methanol fix suggested on the forum.

I just replaced my AC comp. and know its a beyatch to hold the tensioner and get the belt slipped on in the itty bitty space. I received several lacerations from sharp edges getting it on from topside.
Last belt lasted 50,000 till AC locked up and smoked it.
Good work btw!
Thanks
Actually it was just by removing the 15mm to swap the pulley, it broke off and became freespinning. Then I had to break the snout to get access to the 2nd E12 or 14 bolt to remove the tensioner.
My hands look like hamburger meat too but from changing the LEDs and plugs/wires, especially those back 2 cylinders and that was with the wire and plug tool from MB lol.
