Headlights need restoring

[doublem_1]

I plan to restore the headlights on my A3 as they seem a bit hazy and a little yellow. I remember seeing a guide knocking about, anyone got the link?

Also, are the facelight head lights a plastic or glass lense? If they are plastic will a normal polish be ok to use?

And are the headlights simple to remove as I'd prefer to take them off if I could.

The facelift lights are plastic, well mine are There's loads of guides of wet sanding headlights, just get some 1500 & 2000 & 3000 grit wet and dry paper plenty of water, use a sanding block / pencil rubber as a backing plate rather than your hands and just take it easy. Meguiars plast-x is good for removing the sanding marks, but most things will require a machine to remove the sanding marks unless you have arms like popeye

To remove the headlights isn't a massive job but it's a bumper off job I'd just tape up the surrounding areas around the lights with masking tape and go for it

Done a few of these now, so if there's anything you want to ask, feel free

Thank you very much, very informative. Ok I'll tape up the surrounding bodywork and buy some plast-x as I've seen that in the shops. Hopefuly it'll turn out ok!
