I have a my00 sti with crystal headlights and 1 is dirty inside and my hids arent as effective as they should be , now i was wondering if these can be split to allow cleaning of the mirror finish inside

 

They CAN be split, yes, although it's NOT easy and involves baking them in the oven, prising apart and then re-heating to glue them back together.

Get it wrong, you'll melt the plastic the LENS is made from, (unless it's glass), and maybe the reflector too.

And once it's open, what then? The silvering is on the inner surface of the light, with nowt to protect it. Start polishing it, you run the risk of scratches etc and making it unusable.

Might be better off searching one out on e-bay?

 

That sounds more trouble than its worth - suggest he buys from ebay or scrap yard lol

 

i just wondered because its just dust from the bulb holder falling out and letting some dust in. oh well looks like ill need to look for one crystal headlight then . its only happened in the last two days aswell gutted

 

just found a replacement for £38 so looks like this is the way to go
