5th Gen Headlights Laquer Peeling

Post by toadster » Sat Feb 16, 2013 11:53 pm

LO All :D

Can someone confirm that 5th Gen headlights are plastic and not glass :?:

I thought they were glass :?:

On my old FTO i had to rub them down as they had really bad laquer peel on them and they come up a treat 8-)

My drivers side headlight is starting to go at the top so thinking of using the same method , i have some plastx scratch remover which i used after a few stages of wet n dry :mrgreen:

Cheers peops ;)
