Headlight Repairs/cleaning

[Iron Chef]

I've got a customer with an R33 GT-R series 3 that has a xenon headlight unit with condensation/water inside it - who in SA would be good to send it to for cleaning/repair/reseal? Anyone here done it before?

For obvious reasons, he doesn't want to have to replace the whole unit...

Place in oven. Low temp just to losen the glue, pry open clean all u need. Take lenses to crash shop, get them to clear coat them, then use sika-flex to glue back together

this.

you can also use a heat gun or even a decent hair dryer if youre sketchy about the oven bit.

use 800-1000-1500-2000 grit paper in that order wet and dry to sand them down very fine. then take em to a paint shop and get a 2 pack clear coat done on em.

sikaflex or any silicone to seal em.
