Cloudy Lens

I think I have found the issue with my dull len. http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic39157.html

It appears that the Xenon lens is cloudy, not alot but enough to notice. Am I amble to clean this and i presume it needs to be done on the inside?

If they get really bad it can fail the MOT due to poor light output but if you polish them now whilst they are only mildly cloudy you wont ever have to worry.

They sell polishing compounds for headlights. Elbow grease needed unless you have a rotary in which case it will take 10 minutes! 2012 Evoque

I had this on mine, was a good negotiating point on price Thumbs Up

I used wet and dry sand paper and then cutting compound to get them back good as new. Can upload photographs if required?

The projector lens has gone cloudy on one side - how can I remove it or clean it?

You would need to remove the main lense using a heat gun or oven method. Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic 5.0 Supercharged
