I'm not sure about that, I'll pin this comment, hopefully somebody knows!

@@Involvod Thank you.

@@billpetersen298 Depends on what country you live in I think. But unfortunately I think you are limited to complete replacement assemblies ($90 each side from Rockauto in USA), glass Euro headlight kit ($400+ from FCP, or international order) or posting in turbobricks Wanted for decent used. Of those options I think the new replacements are probably decent.

Since there is nothing to lose, before spending money, put the headlamp in the oven at about 200°F to soften the glue. Once it is off, let it cool. Alternatively, you could drill a very small hole in the bottom to let the water drain. To keep the plastic lenses as clear as new, twice a year clean them with PlastX by McGuire's. I've been doing that for the better part of 30 years in mine, and the lenses are perfect, in spite of being the originals attached to a car that lives outdoors.

@@michaeltutty1540 Michael, I’ll try the PlastX. Does it restore them too? My 94, and my 86, each have one yellow lens. Thankfully, the 850’s are all glass.

Exactly, with an added tint on the video, good as new!

Wow that must have cost a bit! They are so much better. Glad you enjoyed it!

I realised that after i'd done it 😄 Classic

Thanks! They're almost too bright now!

Thanks, tricky job isn't it but a great feeling once it's done!

😄 Thanks for watching!

That's a good shout. I put a smear of grease on too, but yeah not the most fun job. Need to do it all over again soon on the other one!

Oh nice motor! I actually wanted to replace the light units but I'm glad I couldn't find any in the end, much better to save the originals instead of bin them. Thanks mate!

@@Involvod Nice to save the original bits where practical. The Manta was a great car to drive, lots of fun looking out of side window to see where I was going :-) but was the most unreliable car I have ever owned. I used to carry a complete wiring harness, full fuel injection system and lots more in the boot just to try and get where I was going!!! I even had a rear wheel fall off while going at about 60 down a country lane!!

Slowly getting there 😃

Thanks! It's not always easy but comments like this definitely help 👍

Thanks!

Thanks bro

Yeah to be honest as soon as the bolts started spinning I knew it would get messy 🤣

Good luck with it 💪

Yeah, I'm sure that glass would hold up just fine at high temp as well! Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah and I noticed alot of them are now badly faded as a result 😬

@@Involvod Yah, the plastics company I work for sells a headlight refinishing for just this yellowing. Polycarbonate is great for impact resistance, but it isn't ideal for areas with high UV. The 1989 Volvo I had in the late 1990s though 2015 had one newish and one original and the original headlight was not that clear anymore even with yearly polishing.

😂 thanks mate

Thanks 😃

Yeah definitely! Although it must add 4kg of weight to the car 😅

No definitely not!

It's a real treat! I actually read LaSabre as Derek would say it, need to stop bingeing his content 🤣 Thanks bro

It's crazy times! 😄

That's coming in the next video 😄

@@Involvod Oh god LOL I can only imagine.

Aha so it really is an international thing 😂

Thanks for the suggestion! I'd love to, got a bit of a backlog of videos to get through but after that i'll do one 👍

@@Involvod came here from your brothers channel and hopefully you have the same success with yours and yeah definitely looking forward to the video.

@@joejohnson2745 thanks, he's done very well hasn't he!

@@Involvod done brilliant he has got a lot of tip off his channel.

I got it from either Skandix or Polar Parts 🙂

Thanks! To be honest I didn't really turn the adjusters when I did the job, then when I took it for an inspection they said only 1 was incorrect, so I adjusted to match the correct one. I used the garage wall for that. To check the aim they use a tool on wheels, I once went to a workshop and they charged me €5 to set them, and most inspectors will do it for you during a test

@@Involvod wow! Thanks for the speedy reply. Sorry, in typical American fashion, I neglected to mention that I am in California. Here in California we do not have an inspection system like you. You can have a 50 year old car that is falling apart and completely unworthy of being on the road, and all the authorities care about is if you paid your annual fee to drive it (registration). And a mechanic here won't even have a conversation with you for $5. I had a check engine light on my other car and it was $95 just to make an appointment to look at why the check engine light was on. So, I will make a few phone calls next week and see what I can get done. THANKS AGAIN!

From Polar Parts, Skandix also do them 👍
