seatkid Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Have fitted some upgrade bulbs - Osram night breaker - and looking at the lights I noticed a certain amount of misting on the inside of the front lens. I also notice the clips around the glass lens - just wondered has anyone ever taken a lens off for cleaning the inside of the unit? Quote
sparky Paul Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Yes, I've swapped the front lens on a mk.1 headlamp. Mine had a hole in the glass and I managed to aquire a replacement... it was a bit tatty and one of the mounting lugs was damaged, so I swapped the lens. Pop the the clips off and the glass comes off with a bit of persuading... the seal is just a foamy seal, no adhesive or anything. It does grab the glass a bit, but once you get the glass moving by prising with a wide flat implement, it comes off easily. I wiped the sealing faces with a bit of silicon spray before reassembly and it's been been sealed for years, it must 5 years plus now. :35: Quote
