Just in response to the parkers removal query if it wasn't solved, passenger side is easy access for aussie hands, driver side required me to loosen and move the fuse box, wiper fluid reservoir and the overflow bottle to get my hand in there 0_o. They may appeard hard to get at, but just pull back the rubber flaps covered them and twist 1/4quarter to get them out, remember not to touch the bulb surface =)

i used meguires scratch x. started by hand it did pretty well. 1 lights was bretty bad, the other had over spray on it. then i go a woollen pad and rubber disc for the drill and went to work with it. after about 20 seconds the bad 1 looked like new. then i took to the light with the overspray on it. took a bit longer but it took the overspray off. and the best thing is that since it is acutally made for paint u don't have to be that careful and u end up with this nice polished bit around the headlight.

i also had overspray on my chrome grill and i bit of metal polish and the buffer took that off in about 10 seconds.

I Do mine with Meguires Wet Look, You can get it on the paint surrounding the light it dont matter. its a fine polish and you would use it on your car anyhow ( I do my whole car in it). Takes all the Yellow off the lights and makes them look like new, and very shiny :O

Has anyone found a way to do this permanantly, did mine for the first time the other day and they came up like new, the next day they had gone back to the way they were, every time i do it it lasts a bit a longer but never stays like new.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
