Technical Front Lamps

[ForbiddenUK]

Planning on getting new head lamps, my current ones are all old and cracked and basically hard to see out of because of how bad the plastic has gotten.

But basically i was wondering if its possible to put my old fogs into the new ones which dont have fogs. Like these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fiat-punt...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c5fc2c768

It wont have the wiring for the fogs

In the plastic has gone funny ie - misty/cloudy you can restore with a headlight restore kit

If its cracked badly - dig deep buy new

[s and b]

the fogs are fastened in at the factory before the lenses are fitted so you cant retrofit without butchering the rear of the light
therefore simple answer is no im afraid
forbidden even ;-)

Thanks. Might be worth having a go using a restore kit before buying new lights.

Anybody recommend any makes of ones?

Im gonna be trying the 3M kits off ebay
its a drill attached sander and polisher - that has 4 stages
1- agressive
2 - sanding
3 - reduction
4 - Clarity

when you see befores and afters - it does look amazing at what it does

Yeah i saw that kit. Think i will be trying the Turtle Wax one. Heard the 3M doesn't come with a sealant so after a week or so it starts to return.

Same idea with both kits tho.

1 review said that - the rest say it works

So something tells me that the 1 review possibly did something wrong....

There is probably a product you can use to seal it up - something possibly like Plasti X
