I did not limit width on any image using the width tag, tho.

Though on the Volvo 240 plastic square 86-93 and some 700-900 head lamps, you get headlamps where the lenses came unglued from the reflector body as the factory grey adhesive get all crusty and brittle.

So you have to clean the inside of the lens. So long as the bulb inside did not explode, damaging the vertical flutes that distribute the light (poorly) as with a Fresnel lens or effect.

So long as the reflector remain mirror like.

Had to scrub the inside of the lens using, at times, oven cleaner, to get the yellow out on the inside.

Let dry. Use I used UV resist GOOP - the RV (At WALMART) or Marine versions.

Secure together tightly. I use packing tape. Use news paper or paper towel or cardboard to prevent the tape adhesive from contacting the lens. Set lens down and bulb hole up to motivate faster outgassing and GOOP curing.

Cause how the Uncle Art B. Posts Images!


Hope that helps.

Learn your HTML, as I did, in the very early 1990s.

I missed the part where crazy driving says he had the headlight restore work done.

And I write for a living, such as it is, as it affords me a brand new 2018 model year Volvo 240. Er, uh, rather a 1993 240.

Heck, I did this for my self on two of the three 240s with these plastic square lamps.

cheers,
