I managed to sort out a couple of items over the Christmas period although the weather stopped me doing anything major.
Managed to finish of my Quick Connect and got that safely tied up and out of the way, its much more convenient now just plugging in to recharge rather than relying on the croc clips – pleased I did this very minor mod.
One bit of the car that was annoying me was the front fog lamps, both had gone milky – to be honest I thought they may be irreparable and the light output was seriously compromised. Did a search on here and found out the correct way to get them out and thought I would try and clean them up first before resorting to spending cash (true Yorkshireman !)
Lights came out easily enough and the lenses were heavily contaminated on the inside, see pics.
Tried just cloth wrapped round a screwdriver but simply would not shift the problem, persevered for a good half hour to no avail!.
My mate was getting bored and fell asleep !!!!
Finally to get a better purchase and wider contact point that was a little flexable on the inside of the glass I tried using my old valve lapping tool with some wrapped cloth around the end, with a touch of G3 paste and started to clean – worked a treat and dead chuffed with results. (see pics)
Did both lights with same method, great finish and saved some cash, just thinking of going old school and replacing with yellow bulbs rather than traditional white.
Booked car in for window tints so looking forward to see what it looks like when done.
Cheers all
