Yet another great Bockers guide!

I had wondered if there was any way of refurbishing the rear light lenses, - and now I know smile

Another addition to the 'jobs to do' list! rolleyes

Do you have to take the lenses out to do this?

Probably would be easier,plus as a bonus you can always get a bit of polish right into the back of the light pods while the lenses have been removed to help protect them from blistering smile .

No probably not but it is a 5 min job, makes it far easier and as Baz says gives you an opportunity to clean and wax the recess laugh

lol @ AlanW! I was going to do this, I can't believe they're as dull as they are. Should be a nice easy one too (although time-consuming), compared to some of the other things on my list!
