Hi Everyone

Just wondered if anyone can tell me how to remove or change the headlamp lens from my 2003 Fabia?

It is starting to look cloudy and I would like to try and clean ot or replace if necessary?

A friend told me to use T cut on the onside of the lens? Has anyone tried this and did it work?

Thanks

James

Wet sand and polish mate. I did mine recently and doing my mates shortly. As long as you mask the paint around it, you won't need to remove the unit.

To remove the lens on these requires heating them up to melt the glue so that the two parts can be separated.

This was my effort at wet/dry sanding the headlights on my Polo: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/196614-headlamp-renovation/page__hl__+headlamp%20+renovation#entry2348384

Given more time/some PlastX it should make a lot of difference.

My drivers side one went cloudy and yellow so I just bought new (second hand) headlights and swapped the whole unit

i used a very light polishing compound on mine. the type you use for getting rid of swirl marks in paint.

I've just acquired 1/2 a meter of 1200 grit micromesh, its so fine you could polish watch face with it when mine head the same way I think I'll give that a go before resorting to new units.
