melon Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Anyone tell me what the brightest headlight bulbs are or where you can get reasonable price HIDs? Don't know if it makes any difference for a square lamp?- know zilch about electric stuffs Gona fail my next MOT if theyre not brighter, the guy turned a blind eye this time and they don't light anything up anyway lol Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Is it maybe due to your headlight lenses being cloudy rather than the bulbs being dull? A standard run of the mill headlight bulb wouldn't fail and MOT in a million year so sumthing is restricting the light. Quote
melon Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 They are fogged on the inside but cant afford new ones atm so looking for a cheaper quick fix for now? If I break the seals to try sort it I'll make a mess of it Quote

melon Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah spent 30 mins polishing them whilst they did the rest of the mot. Must have a crack somewhere. Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Hmm strange surely you dont need to worry about it until next year tho? Gives you plenty time to wait for someone breaking one and buy off them? Quote
morgey Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Im in the same boat with my car, the reflector which should be a shiney silver is now like a dull matt grey so my headlights are shocking Next thing on the list i supose lol Quote
pick1 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I used a cutter compound and a machine buffer and that brought mine up a treat mate Quote
Socks Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 There old cars... The Material Wears off and they dont reflect light as well...New Lights or find some newer ones off another GT to purchase...Polishing the inside of them wont do anything Quote
melon Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Don't want to leave till next year, decent lights for winter would be a bonus! Might have to try a machine polish- thanks!New ones are £140 each from toyota Anyone know if you can replace the reflector stuff easily? Quote
