I've just contacted Headlight Exchange here in Perth and have been quoted $70 for EACH headlight + GST to have them cleaned.

It would cost more to have them cracked open (with heat of course), cleaned inside, and then re-sealed.

Takes a couple of hours, and you just take the headlights to them.

cheers fer that

tis a bit steep just to clean the outsides, may have to look for some plastic cleaner first.

[uneekwahn]

send me a pm, and we'll catch up some time and you can use some of the plastic cleaner I've got.

It doesn't take much

I used some Silvo, its a silver polish/mild cutter. Came up really well just need to give it a few coats. Really good idea if you have a silver colour car because all the excess you get around the lights also cuts out some stone chips you might have

[Guest MFX_R33]

We made up our eyelids from my car, and the heat of the fibreglass actually melted the face of the lights and turned them white. All we did to fix it was sand it back flat and then used a harsh cutand polish compound , and then a finer polish. They came up like glass.

something to muck around with i guess when people have a sec ;D

[funkymonkey]

if anyone wants their headlights dissassembled, (after which I'll hand you a rag n get you to polish your own shit) and you're in melb, I can give a helping hand lol, I've done it to my lights enough times to be a demi-expert

here's a guide, same shit, just apply it to your headlights...

after having tried silvo and cut n polish etc i got myself some of the Meguiars plastic cleaner and polish and they came up better than ever.

only problem is that they aren't as black inside as they could be as there seems to be some oxidisation or 'dust' inside the lights covering the black parts.

i've been wanting to remove the covers on my headlights for that 'custom' double light look so i might have to start looking into that a bit more.

Believe it or not good old touthpaste works very well to
