Title: Headlight lense replacement
Post by: B8CLN on January 19, 2018, 09:38:57 pm

Hi there I have a 2008 gt sport with factory xenon headlights but the lenses are cracking round the lights, has anyone replaced just the lense ?  :happy2:

The lense is part of the unit. Can be separated by heating up a bit of cutting but you're better off just getting a new headlight and I can't imagine sourcing a lense on its own is going to be easy.

Would a wet and dry sanding sort the cracks out or are they deep?

It was just one crack mainly that had let in water, put clear nail varnish on it and see if I can source a cheap light , thought that would be the answer to the lenses, cheers for the reply  :happy2:

You can get just the lenses on ebay.
