taylorblue5 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hi, I'm looking to remove the indicator lenses from my Ascona headlights and replacing them with clear or tinted ones, giving them a good clean in the process. Is there any specific way to split the headlight unit up? Iv not attempted it yet but just thought I'd ask just incase I break anything. Thanks guys.

lammy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 its real easy, remove the headlights first, there are 4 metal clips around where the glass and plastic join, gently remove them with a screw driver or such and the glass will come away easy. The rest is plain to see from there on. Cheers Raymond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stradacab Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The orange lenses drop into the headlamp body. You can get clear or smoked ones and use coloured bulbs if you are trying to change the look. Rapierdaves Ascona has a set of smoked ones in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorblue5 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Cheers James. Iv seen the various lenses on german ebay for €55 or there abouts. Have you seen them any cheaper elsewhere? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ask paulmanta where he sourced his, don't know if they were any less than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Germany ! on a trip out there a few years before I even owned an Ascona ! I bought them at an autojumble because I thought "oh, you don't see those often" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
