Replacement Facelift Xenon Headlamps

**test_uk** · 1st July 2022, 17:10

looks good,

i fitted a new set of OEM Hella preface lights to mine after the originals clouded over, mainly towards the top part, and the polish /restore kit only lasted about a year before they started to dull over again

any tips on how to maintain new headlamps to prevent the issue reoccuring to new lights?
I guess an obvious one would be avoid sun light?!!
is there a uv plastic film wrap available you could apply?

On my old astra diesel the headlights received transparent film wrapped after polishing. They are still on the car after 9 years, still clear. Just go to a tinting garage and ask them for clear tint. It shouldn't cost you that much and you won't have to bother with headlight polishing ever again, untill the HID goes bad at wich point there are kits to replace them but honestly i wouldn't do that because taking apart the headlight is a sketchy job. Better just buy new ones, hella wich is also the OEM manufacturer.
