Replacement headlights glass ?

[yorkshirelass]

I'm sure I've read something about these....they are often discoloured and don't clean up at all. So....can we get replacement WHITE /CLEAR ones ? Just checked the bongo shop and couldn't find anything for sale.
Anyone know where I can get them from please ?

T Cut or toothpaste can sometimes clear things up, otherwise I guess Bongo Spares.

I clean mine up using 2000 grit wet and dry with a little washing up liquid in the water, works well.

Sound good tips......is the headlamp glass easy to get off ?

[g8dhe]

Its not glass, its a single complete unit of plastic with the front "glued" on in someway, although I think someone recently did manage to pull one apart to mount some LED running lights in it.

Don't try and remove the lense, either do it in situ or remove the whole headlamp unit and work on that.

[yorkshirelass]

So, you mean I clean it in situ...from the front? I thought the yellowing was on the inside of the glass/ lens ??

[g8dhe]

Its normally a coating that has yellowed on the outside, have you examined it ?

[Bob]

Yes, from outside.

Yellowing inside would be rare, but possibly the chrome reflector material has broken down in which case you need new lights.

If its obviously the lense then outside.

No I've not examined it as such, it just looks OLD. As its today gone for its hi top to be fitted I can't do anything til back end of next week. I'll try cleaning as above first. It goes to be resprayed on 4 th April....2 weeks...then I get it back !!!

Thanks for all the help and advice lads....you are what this forum is all about

Time you get it back the clocks will have moved, light evenings, no need to bother.
