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 nights
giving 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.
