Hi,


Was it difficult getting the lights out? I 've got lamp guards on mine.

I'm not sure how to remove the lamp guards. I imagine they have either 2 or 4 screws / bolts holding them on.

The headlights are not difficult to remove. About 5 mins work to remove both.

To get the lights out remove the grill. 3 plastic screw things at the top. It lifts out. Each light is held in with three screws. 2X Large Philips head at the top and 1X Phillips head holding a 90 degree bracket on the lower inside. There is a plastic flap to move out the way to access this screw. The light pulls out forward. Unclip the wiring harness and the light will be completely removed. The painted plastic part unclips from the bottom of the headlight.


You don't have to remove the headlight to use the lens cleaner, but I found it easier when removed. Especially if you have a Bullbar.


Good luck.

I did mine in place and only bought the polish part of the kit. Easy job!

Regular cutting polish/buffing compound does the same job.

That's not going to help!!

I hear toothpaste works well too.

Is that kit the one with the different grades of sand paper?

I tried that kit and the headlights didn't stay good for very long. I've now just bought the buffing goop instead. Less effort and same result!

I pulled mine out 6 months ago to try and clean them,chickened out with the fragile plastic clips,will have another go soon,We use maguires on the helmet visors as well excellent results

Yes, the toothpaste option with a soft brush is a really good one. Definitely one of the cheapest!
