Clear side repeaters

[madmanmart]

Anyone know where I can locate some clear side repeaters for my 80?
The old orange ones are looking a little tied.

Seen them on eBay.

You can bring the old ones up quite well with a bit of elbow grease if you want to keep them. I'll post a pic of mine when I do them it's a small item on my big list so gives me an excuse to get them done lol

I've got some but not fitted them yet. Came from eBay.

I think roughtrax sells them too! At least for the 90... Should be the same on the 80?

Believe it or not toothpaste is about the mildest abrasive you can get and so should be good for polishing up old lenses .

It is with a little patience....

I would recommend arm and hammer then. The best tooth paste i have ever used. You can feel the little gritty bits wearing away the enamel, i mean cleaning your teeth..

I use the plastic headlamp cleaning kit by Turtlewax, just use the polishing cream from the kit, comes up like new.

For badly misted polycarbonate headlamps, I’ve had good results with a mild cutting compound (had some 3M on the shelf) on foam with a random orbital, followed by a good waxing to protect from UV damage.

Yep its the UV which buggers them up, the Collie H/lights and the Yaris have been affected the same way,

The UV is defo the killer. Here in Florida everyone has that dull look headlights. I'm kinda glad now to have the old school glass headlight lenses.

Yep, this is the reason the kit came about, ultra violet light damages the plastic.
