C. Reged: 25/01/2007 Posts: 13 Loc: Poland, Poznań Clear headlight glass in V8       31/05/2007 16:35 Edit   Reply   I did get some E-mails with questions about the headlights... The headlights are full Bi-xenon lamps, with the optic adaptated from the newest MB S-class. I have made them at home, so there are no chances to buy such lamps <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> This is the third modification of the lamps. As some of You have seen, there was a full polished glass "clear glass" in the first mod. Unfortunately i had a little crash (reversing car has punched me), so the glass was broken, but i didn't like that full polished look... So, when I was making the lamps another time, i have tohught, that they may look better, with only polished rings for the lenses. It doesn't look so modern and fit better for the style of the car... About the polishing. In Poland there are some guys, who have specialized in polishing headlights's glass. It is not cheap, and easy precedure. It takes some time, and it is being made with the polishing stone (to smooth the riffles on the glass). After that, the glass is very schrached, and have to be polisched to become transparent with a special glass polishing paste. The only problem is that if you do not apply the lenses, the border wetween the light and shadow dissapear (polished glass is required to lamps with lenses), so it in not possible to polish it in normal lamps. If somebody is interested in "clear glasses", I can help to deal with this problem. I can polish the glasses, and send to You. Here are some pics, of polished glasses on my V8 and on my friends C4/A6 (also not able to buy in normal)... <a href="http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0203.html" target="_blank">http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0203.html</a> <a href="http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0204.html" target="_blank">http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0204.html</a> <a href="http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0206.html" target="_blank">http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0206.html</a> <a href="http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0207.html" target="_blank">http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0207.html</a> <a href="http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0208.html" target="_blank">http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0208.html</a> <a href="http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0209.html" target="_blank">http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0209.html</a> <a href="http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0210.html" target="_blank">http://www.audifreunde-oberland.de/audi_web/pages/PICT0210.html</a> Hope i have given you some answers...
