There is also a better fix than just polishing

why buy a new headlight when you can apoxy seal your current one,
Buy some apoxy from nearest coles supermarket, they come in like two needle looking tubes, mix them together, donâ€™t inhale much, use a spatula that come with the kit to apply all around the headlight where the connection between the black and clear housing.
You need to take of your headlight assembly by removing your front bumper,

The water is obviously going in from the front of the assembly, there is a black glue that holds the back of the housing to the front clear plastic, I think your glue has some gaps, so fill up the whole think. Apoxy is clear, you wont even realise its there when finished. However, you wont be able to open up the headlight assembly again, so, if you are planning to paint the inside of the headlight, now is the perfect time

I think by foggy, it means that the

'light is discolouring again after having been polished',

and not

'getting condensation on the inside due to a leak/hole'.

Welcome to the club

Like others have pointed out, you shouldn't need to buy new headlights, just use the DIY Guide to polish them & they will come out like new - it is a bit of hard work but its well worth the effort

Also jump on the forums for your area and check out the posts for the latest club meets/cruises

Hooray! Another Adelaide member

Don't know about the ones parked at TAFE, but we need to get a flyer to them. That's almost as many cars as our last cruise

Welcome!

And yes Travis, but it's the QUALITY not the quantity that counts.

Honestly...

Anyhow, getting underway again. Check the state section.

C'mon Shaun, even you have said you'd like to break the 4 FTO limit we seem to have going

Glamorous and Phantom (worked out you two are in the same car) would be great to see you on the next cruise.

**sigh**

yes, that does seem to be the case doesn't it?? We had that cruise with 4 FTO's, an EVO and a Telstar though!! Does that count

And maybe we could have an FTO working bee and get Ben's place fixed up quicker

Then he can come and play with us (so to speak).

Well, you know Shaun, if you didnt keep blowing your engines up, there would have been 5 FTO's. LOL. Well, things are looking good this year for some bigger numbers. The flyer drops seem to be working
