Headlight Lens Re-Furb
The drivers headlight lens has been replaced at some stage and the passenger side one
is looking decidedly Yuk...... So using the detailed thread  on this fine forum for re-furbing the lens I have spent the last few nightsgiving the exterior of the lens a good treatment and there is a huge improvement........ But the lens still has a slight browny haze to it......  which I deduce is internal.So the inside of the Lens needs a re-furb inc the reflectors. Is one able to open-up the Headlight and remove the lens/reflectors for cleaning without having leaking issues afterwards or is it a sealed unit.... Was quoted over £800 for a replacement.

I've never had one of these apart but from past experience of other motors the silver surface on the reflectors can normally not tolerate any interference. Even light brushing with a soft brush can cause damage so I would suggest proceed with caution if you go ahead.

I've had them apart - they're not a sealed unit and I've not had any issues with leaks.
