tyc Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I say reconditioned because my headlights were still working, but I brought them to 'like new' condition. I followed the classic procedure - washing with detergent, sanding with sandpaper of 800-1000-1500-2000-2500-3000. Then followed the polishing with K2 Lamp Doctor and K2 Lamp Doctor Pad with a Metabo SBEV 1300 machine. After polishing, protection was ensured with PPF. The result is amazing: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Luckily my smart is garaged and so the sun damage to the lights is pretty much non-existent. However, in 2019 my son rear ended a car with this smart and a used headlight was put in the passenger side and it is crazed and yellowed. The good news is that I have two absolutely perfect lenses as spares and I'll change the one that's crazed. The other thing to watch for is not to scratch the lens when removing the nose of the car. The clip that holds the centre panel to the fenders can gouge the lights near the top.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
