Sc 400 Cloudy Headlights

[paulie69]

Several weeks ago I found detailed info on removing and cleaning headlight lenses on the vehicle which also provided pics could anyone please tell me where I can find this info.

Thanks

use brasso

It worked on mine.

If cloudy inside, then there is damp. They need removing, cleaning carefully then resealing.

Try www.toyotaimportsforum.co.uk or look in the ALSC web site in Oz.

Best of luck

T-cut and some elbow grease.

also smokers toothpaste (althought i have never tried)

All it is is a film on the outside of the lens.. try having it buffed beffore going to the hassle of removing lenses.

type in ,,,, planet soarer ,,,, and all you will ever want to know about soarer headlights and other things are there, most of it is from the australian site as they appear to be the most active in sorting out problems on the soarer ,certainly from the point of view of making otherwise obsolete bits work another way , unfortunately the sat/nav is a no no at the moment, but moves are afoot to see if an existing system can be fed into the emv screen in the centre consul .

Not true any more, read this and the link = from toyotaimportsforum.co.uk and Oz

This was advertised on the ALSC a few days ago. Not a drive in, drive out deal but a DIY solution for the TV Tuner in the Limited V8s (which also works in the UK):

This is best left to professionals, but if TIFBITZ orders a few (he offers discounts on bulk purchases), perhaps you could find a capable electronics whiz who can make it a complete service??

How cool is this - using the TV with all the touchscreen functions intact!!

i am aware of the tv mod , might go in for it myself , i was specificly refering to the sat nav situation of which both you and i know works on an obsolete jap system , however it has been implied that it may be possible to run a modern sat nav system which could use the emv screen as a vdu ,using the required converters of course to change the veiwing system.

You are right, I should have read your post properly, sorry!

Sadly my Soarer is not EMV, but it'd be fun for those with EMV.

I did mine, baked in the oven, split, clean polish, reseal, job done, £200 saved.

Just heat around the seal evenly and when the glue has softened pull the lens off carefully

clean the area and re-seal.
