![]() Wouldn't know. The lamps in my 2000 vintage 75 are halogen bulb and they needed polishing due to over spray of paint and general grime.

![]() They will need doing semi regularly though because the reason Brasso works is that it leaves oil behind that clarifies the haze (like fat on chip paper). It wears off.

![]() Only really buffing out hard, with a drill polishing head (a few quid on ebay), then coat in one of the ceramic hard coats, or a glass coating like G-Technic G1 (or 3).

![]() The best way to stop the lights getting pitted and abraded is to take them off during the day
![]() My "W" reg lights are very good with little pitting, I wonder if driving too close to the vehicle in front and high speeds have a bearing on this?
