New Headlights
Now that i'm back in UK I'm spending some time fitting all the bits i've got over the last four months. I started off with the easy stuff and decided to fit my re-furbed H/L.
I've got to say I was very impressed! |

I'll be having a go at the old ones myself now that there's no problem if I screw it up. It'll be interesting to see the before and after with those. I'll probably have a bash tomorrow and post pics that evening. |

it is easy to do your own just put them in the oven gas mark 4-5 and keep checking them dont leave them in there for to long take them out check to see if the paste has softened and try to prise open with a screwdriver

That's a huge improvement mate. Let us know how you get on with the refurb of the old one's. (At some point, given enough encouragement, I might have a go at mine)

I've just done the old ones with Autosol Metal Polish (as recommended by Cass) and they have come up brilliantly. I would almost say they look like Glass.
Unfortunately I've deleted the 'before' pictures, but you can still see them on the pics above. They now look like this and even that picture doesn't do them justice. If I get a chance I'll get them outside and away from false light. Good tip Cass! |
