Headlight Restoration
Discussion
Hi guys. I am looking in to restoring the headlights on my S2 (the UV resistant layer is peeling like most do). There are lots of kits on the market that claim to do the same thing with one of the best being Sylvania. The Sylvania kit comes with a UV resistant film to apply following the sanding process whereas a lot of the other kits do not come with this - is the UV film a vital part to the restoration? Has anyone successfully used another kit?

I "corrected" a set of clouded plastic lights by wet sanding and polishing and they came up superb but if you don't put some sort of UV protection back on the face then yes it will cloud again quickly.
Thanks mate. Just what I needed to know. What did you use as UV protection?HolbaySS said:
Sorry, not ebay but here: http://www.powerfuluk.com/products/crystal-halogen...
and I was wrong with the price, not £35 a pair - now £29 a pair.
Use them on my Lotuses and they are superb.
If you also want LED headlamp bulbs they are now available at around £35 each
Yes they are the driving lamps, not the headlights they I am asking about. and I was wrong with the price, not £35 a pair - now £29 a pair.

Always assuming that you are talking about the early Europa's and not a modern one...
