I just did mine today....man what a pain... I thought I'd add some pic's to help other's.

This first one show's were the half actually split






This one point's to a little screw that hold's the middle piece to the lens






Here's what you should have once you pulled everything apart.






Here's the before and after, using PlastX (really great stuff)






I used a heat gun to heat the adhesive...unfoutnetly I used a scew driver to try and split the half's...I realy mess the first lamp up.




I didn't even split the second one, I just buffed the outside with the PlastX and it looked just as good as the other (actually it looks better). And I buffed the high beam's and turn lights with out removing them from the car....I wish I had done that first... ohh well live and learn.

so the hazing is only on the outside?... i see , i bought a second set to practice on,so i wont mess up my original ones..

where can i get plastx? online ? any other simular products (does cell phone display polish work too?)

edit : found it on ebay!

For future reference the product is called "Megiuars PlastX "

I use PlastX successfully. I have found also that a light metal polish works well (as suggested to me by Neil). They have to be done every few months though.

thanks for the info on PlastX,I bought a bottle and boy does that work,my headlights hav'nt looked this good before.Thanks again for info.

I've had these problems with other cars in the past. I found the easiest polishing paste to use was bought from an aquatic shop. It's what they use/sell for polishing acrylic aquariums that have picked up surface marks. It usually comes in a kit with an application cloth,polish and buffing cloth. Nice and cheap as well ACRYLIC POLISH

Once these headlights are polished for the first time, the factory UV protection is removed, and the plastic is now porous and will require polishing/cleaning pretty much every 6 months.

My spanner gave me a bottle (gave....for 20squid) of 'Synpol' which he reckons has a UV proofing similar to that of the factory stuff. It was pretty good, it kep the plastic clear for just over a year before it needed cleaning again. Im still looking for that magical stuff that will work.

Course, to be less ambiguous, Id really need two soarer's, one for control and one for testing.

There. The missus HAS to accept that as a valid reason for buying another JZZ30.


"..but it's for scientific research honey? Dammit woman, this could save a life!"

Same problem here with the Aristo covers. Interesting about the factory UV film and makes sense. Might pop down and see what's on offer at Yellow Hat or Autobacs. Actually I might swing by the local Toyota people and see what they say!

Or she might point out that it has two headlights - one test & one control

NON-ACETONE nailpolish remover takes the oxidisation off the fronts quite nicely.
