Hi fellas,
Just wondering can the cornering lamps on ef el models be restored to look brand new again? If so how much and where from? Ford have now stopped making them. |

I bought some brand new ones a year ago from Ford. Are you sure they no longer have them?

What is wrong with the current ones that they need restoring?

They are glass judging by the way mine have smashed. Wow, wouldn't have thought they would go yellow like the headlights. And the indicators are really cheap plastic, so you don't mean those?
No, surely not. The cornering lamps should be able to have a new surface put on them. Elbow grease with wet and dry all the way down to 2000 grit and then a polishing paste. Can't do any harm. Supercheap have kits that contain all the stuff. |

They're definitely plastic, just a more brittle type than your headlights.
It's the first time I've seen/heard of these fading. Any normal headlight restoration technique will work to restore them. |
