chuckovski Posted 12, September 2016 Report Share Posted 12, September 2016 Welcome! Don't know if it will work but polishing with toothpaste is a trick I've heard with cloudy headlights. But in regards to websites: Ktec racing Demon tweeks And a Polish eBay seller partsrs_com (sells shirts as well?!) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191473647547 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrastu Posted 12, September 2016 Report Share Posted 12, September 2016 The toothpaste or machine polish can be a short term solution and they can cloud again......you can buy a kit which has a clear sealer to spray on after cleaning them, I'm sure autobahn or supercheap do them.

kaesh Posted 13, September 2016 Report Share Posted 13, September 2016 you can do the headlight your self using detergent 800 grit,1500 and then 2000 grit sand paper with a coat of clear afterwards to protect followed up with some nice wax to protect them. should cost you under $20 for all the parts needed and about 2-3hrs depending on how fussy you are about the finish.it took me about that for my Clio 172. Welcome by the way and yep! check out Ktec and Demon tweeks and a few other U.K places. Cheers Sam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No152 Posted 13, September 2016 Report Share Posted 13, September 2016 You should all get a real Renault, where the engine is in the rear. Now shots fired. Hmmmmmm.... Does that then mean it has impeccable handling abilities when going backwards around twisty corners...? ???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the rear engined Renault Alpine a110 went backwards when it won a world rally championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have done this a few times. Best advice is to take your time, do it on a warmer day (or have a heater in the garage), and sand lots.... I got my best results by spraying on like 3 coats and then sanding off (wet sanding) with 2000 grit paper to remove the orange peel, then buffing with a heavy cutter bringing them back up to a clear look. Anyone would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the original covering on the light and the one I had done. Ill grab some pics soon (of my falcons light, did to the clio too but im not happy with the results I got with it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

404173 Posted 18, September 2016 Report Share Posted 18, September 2016 If your not very confident at cleaning the headlights, theres usually a good detailer around. I had mine done recently and they look brand new. Cost wasn't too much in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
