Pattern on my lights are no good.

Anyone have any ideas to help this? Obvs last year it just got through the mot but I want to avoid getting new lights If I can obviously they are pricey. Anyone got any tips?

T-cut and a good polish

Yeah that's all I could think of. May have to give that a try and keep my fingers crossed that it helps

Nicely put up a guide years back but it involved throwing them in an oven to take them apart and refurbish them, is it on the outside or inside? I got a local guy to clear mine up when I had it and he used some form of glass polish and a block of what looked like ultra fine sand paper but I tried to replicate it a year or so later with the finest one I could find but it scratched the plastic - lucky I tried in one very small spot first!

Try toothpaste seriously cleans I up! Or if it's on the inside can take them apart with a heat gun without much bother
I normally just polish them with srp when I clean the cR

you can get one of the kits to restore them with a drill attachement, you could machine polish them or polish them by hand. its what ever you are happy doing. I took mine off the car, stripped them down then put them in the oven to warm the seal up. I did this due to there being dirt on the inside of the light. I then hand polished them inside and out using metal polish. can up a lot better.

3M Headlight Lens restoration is supposed to be very good. I've got a pack of it, but haven't got round to using it, but will do this spring.

I think I got mine from ebay.

I've used the Meguiar's kit that attaches to a drill on mine and it made a huge difference. I used that (the liquid I used was Meguiar's Plast-RX) along with wet sanding the lights with the sanding pads it comes with. Easy enough to use and made a noticable difference.

This is more or less the same thing on Halfrauds: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...01&langId=-1&productId=922499&catalogId=10151

It all depends on if its the glass thats disturbing your beam, or commonly its the bulbs fitted incorrectly that affects the pattern!

Are your lenses fogged/hazed up? Or have you fitted new bulbs within the last year?

does seem a little hazy to be honest so im hoping a good polish will do the trick.need some window washer motors aswel there a nightmare to find.theres one on ebay buts like £300 and that seems a little to much for what it is if im honest

That Meguiar's kit is good stuff on UV affected lenses
