Zenki Headlight Repair Woes
The Bad News
Ok so in my attempt to de-yellow the zenki I clouded and perhaps even destroyed the plastic headlight cover thing... The Good News I have access to a plastic vaccuum molding machine so I MIGHT be able to make replacements... The Ugly News I don't think I can replicate the inside beam pattern portion of the lense (fluted lense?). Could I just make clear lenses with no pattern? Am I high? Could I just sand down and polish the crap out of the stock (fogged up) headlights? Valuble lessons learned today: Goof Off + Headlight = NO HEADLIGHT

yes you are high........ unfortunately a lot of the beam pattern is due to the various angles and such on the inside of the lens. Your lights will still light up the road but not as well.

Cool link.. I've read good things about Novus products. People use it to clean acrylic fish tanks and other plastic lenses.

I think im just going to make up a new set of clear lenses for now (I love vaccuum forming plastic!), and then retrofit a projector type system into them later...
So whats got cheap projectors I can steal stock and fit into the housing... o.O Anybody got a linky to tell me how projector lights differ from relfector type housings? I tried how stuff works and googling it but to no avail...
