Clear Headlight Lense Covers

Post by Sam Baker »

I dont belive they are manufactured any longer. Check ebay every now and then. They dont replace the stock lens cover, they just kind of snap on top of them. If your stock lens are foggy you can clean them inside and out, which will make them look brand spankin' new. People like the clear covers because you can paint them without worrying about ruining your headlights.

You can try Meguiars Plastix cleaner too. I should say it works better than mothers to me. But its up to you.

In my case I just used hair dryer and took me about 4 hours to finish the job. So i suggest you do what slick did with a heat gun. I heard you can put heat it in Oven too but you have to watch it....i tried that on my altezza's and almost melt one of the red caps... also his idea of using spreader to pry the lense i believe is better than using flat screwdriver(what i used) because our headlight housing are quite old and easy to break. I chipped some few parts on my housing because of using that. But you do whatever is easy for you.<p>hope this helps

I put mine in the oven for about 2 minutes on 250 degrees. Doesnt damage the light at all and it works perfectly. Took me about 2 hours but thats just because i was taking my time and watching a movie.

If you mess up the light Mazda gets about 250 for one last I checked. More easily gotten from a junker, but still expensive and then you have to start the cleaning over again.
I use the Meguires stuff over other brands too. A Dremel on a lower speed with a buffing pad works well and saves time.
