Yeah with my EL to begin with my drivers side headlight as never had any problems and has always been clear as a bell.

not really, the reflectors are chromed plastic, and higher wattage bulbs burn the chrome off the plastic, something i discovered in my XF

Yeah I tried it and it doesnt work. Stuffed the headlights.

They need a s**t of sanding to get that crap off or I'll probably just get some new ones unless I sell it first.

DONT USE NULON THROTTLE BODY CARBY CLEANER.

Thanks one mile sniper you f**k.

a little of topic but how the f**k do u get the headlights out, i've undone all the bolts, removed the indicator and i cant find a way to get it out of the car, its loose and will come out if i can find a way to manouver it out!! i have a replacment pair sitting in my boot ready to go.

I did this about 8 months ago and they still look like new.

You will need the following:

1 x sheet wet and dry 600
1 x sheet wet and dry 800
1 x sheet wet and dry 1200
1 x sheet wet and dry 2000
detergent
water
tape (nothing too sticky, something like plastic packing tape will do)
screwdriver
Plexus, turtle wax, or some other polishing element
Sanding Block

prepare the car by removing the indicator. The screw is located in the engine bay just above the indicator. Slide it out.

Next run tape uder the headlight the length of the bumper. Apply a couple of layers as they will wear through.

ok now we are ready....

get a bucket of water mixed with detergent and dunk the wet and dry 600 in. start sanding slowly with light pressure, in a back and forth motion from left to right.

keep dunking the sandpaper because it will clog fast. It will take some time, however be patient because soon you wil notice it has developed a milky film on the lens.

next repreat the process with the 800, then the 1200, and finally the 2000. It should be nice and clear at the time you are ready to use the 2000 wet and dry, but i prefer to use it as it gets the finer detail.

ok now apply the plexus (or whatever wax you have). this is it. your lens should look brand new.

this has worked really well for me. If you want some pics of the process just PM me.

we have done heaps of headlamps this way and 90% of them come out really good if they have crows feet in them they need more sanding and dont come out quite as good.
