improving cloudy headlights

[phil318]

The front lights on my cab are a bit clouded and id really like to get something clearer to bring it up to date a little, though i dont want angel eyes. Does anyone know whats available for what kinda money and from where? cheers

I would say your best bet is new, genuine headlights from ECP or GSF. I think anything else apart from smoked Hellas look a bit chav. Fresh, standard lights make a big difference.

Is it an early cab? I had pretty dim looking lights and picked up a set of clean smileys from a scrappy for £30.. Looks a lot cleaner now

what type of lights are they?? projectors or normal halogen bulb type?

if they are cloudy in the inside then remove the light fitting, remove the bulb and electrical bits, fill the light unit with hot soapy water and slosh it around, rinse and dry with hairdrier, this snhould remove the cloudiness.

failing that if you are a bit more adventurous and you have the projector jobbies click articles at top of page, click tech articles, and find the article on DIY smoked hellas....good luck

No its a 93 lux cab but the lights are just looking old. Im not really wanting to go for angel eyes particularly, had some on my golf and they were never all that bright, plus I want to keep this fairly oem+ kinda styled, clean, smooth and low. Can you get a crystal clear front light set at all? Iv had a wee look online but cant seem to see anything?

theres a firm in the states that sells just the crystal glass
