| i am in the same boat as u, any help would be great, is there any special type of paint u can get? would chrome paint work? what about xenon bulbs? would the heat off them crack the paint? |

Fkn hell Alan you don't have a negative answer? you don't understand what he is on about?
TG SLX headlights,
remove the clips, remove the mirror centre don't touch it, then spray the plastic section with liquid chrome, let dry and re assembly.
cheers,
Eggy |

| Nope didint know what he was on about, but you can disassemble TG h/lights???....Great, I learnt something tonite. Cos those mirror lenses get shitty after a few decades, so if you can get at em, then you could prob. chrome them to bring em up new? OR are they plastic? Then how do you make em look new? |

Yeah, you have to remove the metal clips top and bottom, then slowly prise the glass lense out, usually on the first one you will break it so find an old one to practice on.
then you can get to the lense. remove it with out touching the crome, then paint the plastic inside with liquid chrome, closed paint to chrome.
then re assemble with sylicone sealant and replace the lenses, you can also but non genuine TG SLZ lenses only, quite cheap, but again practice on those metal clips,
cheers
