Got a pair of genuine facelift headlights from eBay for the bargain price of £40.
Unfortunately the goon had left them somewhere damp and they both have some nice yellow residue on the inside of the lens. It won't be very noticable once fitted but I'm a perfectionist so I want to mint them.
So I popped them in the oven for 20 minutes, as you do, but there's no separating the lens from the housing. I don't know what glue/adhesive they used, but it's fecking tough.
Any thoughts? Any better way of cleaning them? Someone said distilled water and pipe cleaners (through a bulb hole) but I'm not so sure that's going to work.
Maybe I can pour some sort of fluid in there, let it settle for a while, then pour it back out let it dry? Don't want to pull the reflective paint off though...
