There is also a better fix than just polishing

why buy a new headlight when you can apoxy seal your current one,glamorous wrote:hi everyone, im new to this site but have had my fto since dec 05. havnt done much to it yet as i still dont really know all d good places to go and dont wanna get ripped off. what im desperately looking for is a new front light, ive noticed the front lights are prone to getting all fogged up.. after my boyfriend polished it up for me it looked fine but then eventually got bak to foggy. well anyways if u guyes know good places to go for fto parts, bodykits, etc let me know!!thanks!!
Buy some apoxy from nearest coles supermarket, they come in like two needle looking tubes, mix them together, don’t inhale much, use a spatula that come with the kit to apply all around the headlight where the connection between the black and clear housing.
You need to take of your headlight assembly by removing your front bumper,
The water is obviously going in from the front of the assembly, there is a black glue that holds the back of the housing to the front clear plastic, I think your glue has some gaps, so fill up the whole think. Apoxy is clear, you wont even realise its there when finished. However, you wont be able to open up the headlight assembly again, so, if you are planning to paint the inside of the headlight, now is the perfect time

No
I think by foggy, it means that the
'light is discolouring again after having been polished',
and not
'getting condensation on the inside due to a leak/hole'.

Welcome to the club
Like others have pointed out, you shouldn't need to buy new headlights, just use the DIY Guide to polish them & they will come out like new - it is a bit of hard work but its well worth the effort

[quote="TCGPX"]C'mon Shaun, even you have said you'd like to break the 4 FTO limit we seem to have going

**sigh**
yes, that does seem to be the case doesn't it?? We had that cruise with 4 FTO's, an EVO and a Telstar though!! Does that count
And maybe we could have an FTO working bee and get Ben's place fixed up quicker
Then he can come and play with us (so to speak).

Well, you know Shaun, if you didnt keep blowing your engines up, there would have been 5 FTO's. LOL. Well, things are looking good this year for some bigger numbers.
