Is200 Headlight and Bonnet required - reganlives - 05-07-2020
How about using good old brasso? I use it after I wash my car every time. Keeps the headlights really clear if they have any cloudyness etc..

Good Afternoon folks!
Firstly a massive thanks to those of you who suggested Mcguires Headlight restoration kit. I can honestly say its the best £20 ive spent recently and I must have enough for about another 10+ applications. Bargain!
For those of you wanting a guide on how to remove a Headlight from an IS200 inc the front bumper I used link as posted by SparkyMarky on LOC.

Its very good, but pay attention to the below posts RE the retaining Clip. I had this on mine, and its likely you have on yours so be careful
So here some pics.

Heres it once the headlight removed. For an extra 10mins I could of taken the bumper off, but there was no need. In reality I could have done it on the car with some careful taping. But as my headlight was quite bad I thought I'd take it out completely and do a thorough job.

Here the clip I mentioned, as you can see I chewed mine a little. Its pretty tough going and well worth getting a rag just to protect your bumper while pressing these down and pulling the headlight out. would have been easier if I had a helper (just saying)

And here it is all restored. Very happy with the results!
