A Few
Having seen all your photos of "sparkling headlights" from those using the 3M Kit, I purchased one! My OH offered to carry out the restoration work and is (usually) great at any DIY, basic mechanics etc.. Likes to have jobs to do!
A couple of weeks back, he tackled the Headlights following the guidance in the 3M kit. Halfway through, I had a little look at the passenger headlamp, and sure enough, it looked great, coming up like new. So I left my husband to happily carry on with the drivers side. Oh dear!! During the process this time, its appears things became overheated and a small area of the headlamp suffered melting (rippled/white/bumpy).
Whilst I was grateful my OH had tried his best, it didn't look great especially when the other headlamp was gleaming! I smiled sweetly, said thanks for having a go and asked tactfully if it could be improved. OH tried some sandpapers but didn't have much impact, so he purchased another 3M kit.
Today, he used the kit but unfortunately its looking worse. Whilst some of the bumpy melted area is less bumpy, the headlight is hazy because of scratchy swirling from the process and still has white melting. Looks awful compared to the other headlight. But he did try - and I'm still grateful!
SO HELP...is there anything left to try?? Any smart ideas/products that might save the headlamp?? Does anyone know how much a set of brand new Xenons currently cost from Renault and part numbers please (172 black inserts) I'm thinking this could be a very costly mistake!
