projector lights careful cleaning them!
« on: 07 December 2008, 16:28:57 »

ive just got hold of a pair of projector lights, one is o,k but the other has adjuster issue plus a leak, ive stripped off the lense & found that the reflectors were covered in a white dusty stuff, went to wipe it off with a damp cloth & the silver started to come off the reflector >:( so now its got a yellow plastic patch where the silvering has come off, all i can say is what a crap coating, just thought id put this on here to warn others to be careful if attempting to clean these things :(

I had similar problems on my Senator 24V.  Very fiddly to clean and not lose the 'silvering'.
