If anyone has a good idea re left-hand front indicator/fog lamps, I shall be interested - I need one too
(and a right hand one less urgently). All the silvering has come of the fog lamp reflector which means
that almost no light comes out of it.
Apologies from a new boy if this is an FAQ, but the dipped headlights on my car are very poor -
commented on at today's MOT test but not failed. They just look very dirty and dusty inside - is it
possible to clean them (relatively easily)?

In terms of reality the best replacement headlamps to get are the post 1995 models units with Halford's
Xenon lamps in the dipped position and Halfords All-Weather in the full beam slot ( these give a funky
blue/yellow colour and certainly make people get out of your way when they are doing 50 mph in the
outside lane of the motorway.). Both these bulbs cost 10UKP each at Halfords, but in my opinion are
worth the money.

The glass cover on front of the headlamp unit is held in place by spring clips. There is a seal between
the glass and the headlamp unit and this can sometimes perish, allowing a very small (and I mean
small) amount of condensation to build not on the outer glass, but on the inner lens (where the heat is),
and cause a slight amount of discolouration. The headlamps can be pulled apart, but it's not a job I
would like to do. The headlamps will of course need to be re-aligned afterwards.
