Hi does anyone know if or where you can get the replacement headlight cover or lens, as mine is badly smudged not scratched. Or what do you suggest , maybe to polish it out with.

cheers for any help

no one got any ideas?

Brasso might polish out light scratches, then polish with a plastic cleaner, like Plexus.

You could try the Breakers list at the top of the UK For sale & Wanted forum

PS change your location to UK, otherwise people will think you're a septic

The front cover is clipped and bonded to the housing so not a easy job to remove

you can polish out some scratches, but it's difficult

being plastic, you would think it would be easy, but it's not

I have a plastic lens on a watch that I rub down with 1500 grade wet and dry (wet) followed by Solvol Autosol chrome cleaner - this sequence brings the lens up like new

it doesn't work on the headlamp, which I suspect is made of harder plastic, and some fine scratches are hard to shift

I'll experiment today and let you know whether I find a solution/formula/sequence

might be useful for the faq

Don't forget if you polish the lens you may well change the optic properties and distort the beam.

Just a thought come MOT time.

Use a random orbit polisher like the porter cable as shown in this thread...
