Hi Guys, been a while, hope you're all still rockin' in the free world.

Yep, as per the title, I have this issue.

I polish the outside now with Kitten No.2 polish, they look ok for a while, but it's the inside of the lense that appears to be deteriorating, not badly, but enough to give me the 5hits.

A little fine 'crazing" (spelling?) and the internal chrome parts are not as chromey as I'd like. Hey, it may require a 're-shell', if that's at all possible.

Has anyone here found a service that can take my lights away for repair then re-install. The car doesn't get used, so I don't care about time, just honesty and the price of service.

Any input greatly appreciated. Cheers.

the aftermarket headlights seem to have poor visibility at night which is obviously a very important aspect of the car..

i think you'd be better off finding a mint set of 03-05 reflectors but still they don't have very good vision.

Yes, I'd tend to believe that Sean about the cheapies, but I do love my standard lenses, they are superb when the Halogen and Zenon mix at night.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
