I have had hids fitted which look great in the smiley face headlights ,however my full beam headlights are dull (maybe its the lens, not sure) they just contain the normal lights as per normal.

So question is where can i get some crystal clear full beam headlights -and how much should i pay.

Also i have grey leather seats (k reg 318ic lux ) what is the best stuff to feed and restore it (as most leathers of this age they are crackled.). I heard you need the right level of restorer (too high a spec and the leather becomes matt e.g. like too much acid is in the product) -not sure how true/untrue that is.

Thanks.

For leather you need to get it really properly clean first. I'm talking white linen cloth rubbed firmly along the cracks comes away spotless. Then condition the crap out of it, probably several times. Let it soak in for days at a time. It will slowly transform. Job jobbed.
