A Light problem!
Hi guys.
A non-aircraft question as such but I think you are the guys who can maybe help. The headlamps on my car - yeah I know - but I gotta see where I'm going!!
They are wrap around plastic type and gone slighty opaque. A fault with all the early Vauxhall cars with these fitted.
Replacements are £169 each and I was wondering if there is a way that I can polish or use some other treatment to bring them back to life.

Wierd bunch of people run these places, but the prices can be low.
Often already removed and shelved as well, these days.....saves trying to unscrew rusty fasteners from a scrapper.....in the rain.....in November.

Thanks again. A breakers yard was the first thing I tried but they were worse than mine! And changing them requires a front end dismantling job!!!
Someone I know tried the Mothers polish but it was not ideal.
Gotta get something and I have asked for the total cost of shipment from Ft.Lauderdale.

if they're craized theres not much you can do about them apart from replacing them.
craizing in perspex appears as fine tiny cracks through the plastic. a good example of craizing is a leaky fuel drain dripping onto the perspex windows (eg. cessna), in a short peroid of time it will occur.
