Do the rovers over the pond receive glass lenses for the 03/4 headlights? My plastic ones are beat up and if glass is available I'd rather order some. Do they exist or am I stuck having to refinish my plastic ones?

 

I think all are plastic. You can take it and have the lenses restored or do it yourself. Walmart charges about $40 to do it. It will last about a year. Depends on where you live and how much driving you do. You can get some clear vinyl covers to protect them afterwards.

 

Just plastic
I sand them then clear coat with uv protectant acrylic clear coat...... Lasts as long or longer than they did new

 

Do this, just wet sand, Polish, and seal them back up. Mine look new

 

What's the process of sanding them? What clear coat should I purchase? Also do I do this to the outside lense or take them apart and do the inside?

 

Any clear works. I like acrylic as it bonds with plastics best.
I use 400grt and sand all discoloration and fading out. Blow off and spray

 

Outside.

 

All facelift headlights are plastic (polycarbonate) but they can be revitalised instu but easiest when removed using a polishing package. I used this one but others are available.

It only takes a couple of hours and provided they are kept clean lasts for many years.

The problem with glass, if they existed, is one stone that hits the lens shatters or cracks them and you're into a big bill $$$$$$$$$$$$.

There is a thread on here about restoring these 03/04 headlights with a 3M's kit.

 

Wow 400grt is pretty aggressive. I went 2500grt followed by 3500grt. Then I compounded and polished them and they are crystal clear. I used this stuff to seal them up: https://www.detailersdomain.com/mobile/Optimum-Opti-Lens-Coating--Permanent-Headlight-Coating_p_911.html

 

I may have hit it with 600 or something for final, but started w 400. The abrasive scratches are smoothed wit the clear coat.
