Removing headlight plastic front?

[STRBramley]

I am wanting to get some new clear glass fronts for my Xenons as I tried to refurb them with a buffer and ruined them . Does anyone know if it is possible to take the front off and replace it with a new one? So I wouldn't have to buy all the stuff that goes inside?

Slow down cowboy.

How did you ruin your current units? Why can't they be repaired?

Yeah I agree ita probably fixable unless you've badly melted them. Although youd have to be a grade 17 satchel to manage that.

They were really badly hazed at the bottom so I left the buffer on for a long time and it's made an indent on the headlight. It's white and I don't think I can buffer it out die to it being cutting so deep.

I refurbished them by hand a few years ago and they came out really good. I should of just done it that way again .

You have to bake them in the oven to melt the glue, so you can then split them apart, it's a lot of hassle though

just use a orbital sander ,start with 400 then go 800 then 1000 if they look ok buff up with 3m compound then coat with 2pack clear coat sorted and lasts for years
