dirty lamp

[oldmandon 1]

Hey all.

I've got some quad lamps, but one of them has got a bit of dirt behind the lens see the photos. Has anyone got ANY ideas of how to get it out/clean. So far I've stuffed a paper towel in there, a brush (thin one so it's bristles would bend and rub the glass, last thing I tried is a pipe cleaner, but it just collapses) I've also used Bi-carb and hot water!!! worked a bit..... so please help, I've got a HID kit waiting to go in!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi mate,

Ive had a similar problem,

What I done and it worked a treat was used a piece of blue nylon rope and a good squirt of cif.

Cif in the hole and then kinda rotated the rope in the hole.

[oldmandon 1]

How thick was the rope you used? I cant get much past the cross hairs inside my lamps

[Nero Mk 2 8]

Ah srry, i didn't take into account for the crosshair

if they are constructed like standard lights, bake them on a low heat to soften the adhesive and then remove the glass altogether.

Hid's wont be any good in those lights the crosshairs stop the light from reflecting as they sit too far forwards in to the crosshairs but your choice i found i wasted my money much better in normal lights imo

in normal as in standard lights or standard twin hellas??

[CALICO 130]

standard lights

but you if you have the clear quads they dont have crosshairs you can still have hids on the outside ones because they are projectors and look awesome

H1 bulbs fit standard lights main and full beam

H1 bulbs for hella quad outers(projectors) H7 for inners the crosshairs i went for Nightbreakers for inners

[oldmandon 1]

My hella lights are different, I have H1 bulbs in the projector lights and H3 in the crosshair lights. I have no idea why they are like this, but if you see my thread on HID? Lukey is running the same setup, he has his HID h1 bulbs in the projector light, and says you don't need high beam (still gotta have the blbs though) as HID is bright enough!!!!!
