j_jza80 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Yes, send them to Scott It's a pretty horrible job tbh, messy and they often don't seal back up properly. I've seen Scott work first hand, and it's the best solution short of remortgaging your house and buying brand new lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Scott work first hand, and it's the best solution short of remortgaging your house and buying brand new lights I'd second that. Something you can do yourself but it's a pain getting the lenses to sit right after putting them back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 How much does he take for this I think it's circa £100 plus postage, but you'd need to ask him. A friend of mine got his facelift ones done by Scott, and they aren't far off my brand new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 If it's just the lenses that need doing this is really good stuff http://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/clay-bars-detailing-products/meguiars-one-step-headlight-restoration-kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin smith Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi the reflectors look good black, but does this not reduce the amount of light reflected on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 No, because they aren't the reflectors, just the surrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Anyone know if glass/uk lenses are a straight swap for facelift lenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboomberang Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 I am going to make one good one out of the two I have I'm just looking for the how to split them without breaking them guide as I'm good at following instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 here you go bud http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?153261-Refurb-and-painting-headlights-guide&highlight=headlights Says 200deg in this guide - that's risky, I'd go for between 100 and 150 and check them regularly. Don't let the light casing or lense touch the side of the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Put mine in the oven at 120deg for 10 mins just make sure they don't touch the side of the oven, then slowly pull them apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Anyone know if glass/uk lenses are a straight swap for facelift lenses? Iirc the glass and plastic lenses are different shapes and non interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
