Agreed, that is just a standard halogen light... most certainly not a projector.

My mistake re projector - the M reg has had respray and the lacquer has "melted" onto the front lights.  T cut has no effect and he's used a valeting cream from a body shop to no avail.  If I can get a set of replacement lights from the same car for £14 + postage it seems worth a punt if they'll fit.

Nothing short of a belt sander will clear them up - I'll post a pic next week so you can see the state they are in  :'(

If it's lacquer on the glass, won't paint stripper work? It works when the lacquer is on the paint.  :(

It's not on the glass but more like it has melted the plastic.  It has ruined the outer surface and is more like when you spill superglue on soft plastic - chemical reaction  :(

'dangle berries' NO - I wonder if it was a sneaky OOFer though.  Just as well they are not for my car  ;)
