EP3 dirty headlamps

Messages
13
Hey guys would appreciate any advice on this, my cars headlamps are generally ok they look fairly clean in daylight but when it’s night and I have my lights on there is like an algae colour of dirt around the whole outside and it’s looks terrible.. If anyone has cleaned up there headlamps good how did you do it?
 
Whatever you do don't bother with toothpaste like all these idiots suggest like on YouTube

Best bet is to wet and dry them with wet and dry sandpaper. Maybe a 2500 grade and work your way back to 3000. You'd then need a good compound to polish them back and best bet would be with a dual action polisher but could be done by hand with a pad but will take ages and would be built like a brick poo house after

You said it was on the outside in the first post :confused:

For the outside I used Holts headlight restorer, it was good stuff, they came up nicely after being a little bit fogged up when I got the car.

There are two pictures, as you can see they look fine until you put the lights on.. the picture doesn’t show it as well as real life. I can’t tell if it’s dirty/grime or it kinda looks like light coming through the cracks, both headlights are like it. The car does have a xenon kit that the previous owner put in.

These two are probably the best inspiration you’ll get for polishing the outsides of your headlights.

Insides - buy new ones.
 
Mines the same on the insides. Anyone know the cheapest place to buy new headlights?
If you search Azazl got some new ones that were decent. I'm sure he put a link up and they were reasonable money.
