Can these be repaired?

kc13661 · 6th October 2016, 17:12

I bought a pair of Mk1 Projector headlights second hand, today they arrived and straight away I have noticed damage. I have sent the vendor a message, but I am wondering if these damage bits can be repaired, any views on this please

If a fix can be done, anyone have an idea of cost?

Is it just a scrape on the plastic lens? Will polish out with one of the 3M headlight restoration kits if its not too deep.

No... internal damage as shown on close up, also fixing lug broken

I would want a refund mate, you should not have to repair them

Lesson. Be careful of what you buy on line...

If you cant hold it in your own hands..?..Dont bother...Unless of course you have spoken to the person beforehand and,...You know..

How on earth has that internal damage been caused? I'm guessing during couriers part. No way could any seller send that and expect to get away with it.

I was purely asking the question, the seller has responded and offered to send a second set out, and have parcel force collect these (he will claim off them)

But I am curious, can they be repaired? and at what cost?

Thats good news, at least the seller is taking responsibility.
I would opt for the collection and replacement.

If it was just the plastic fixing arm, then maybe you could do a repair like I did on mine (pic below), but the broken chrome ring casing is enough for most peeps to reject them.

klarzy will be the man to speak with...
