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.

That's all Greek to me :D  He paid £350 for the car and I suspect cheap as chips is the way to go, but the Ebay lights do look in good condition for £6.99

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.  :(
