To remove the haze from the headlights I use denatured alcohol  (same as alcohol  stove  fuel).About 3 Tbs, swirl it around  inside,drain and let dry out over night or use a hair blowerRobert1982 Westy

I have been trying to avoid going to the S. America grill, though that does seem the "smart" way to go.  Lots more options for the round headlights, but the cost is quite high.

That's a great idea to look at the Euro ebay websites for e-codes. Hadn't thought of that.

Do I need to get e-code lights from a country that drives on the same side of the road as N. America?  I thought the light pattern was different between the left lens and right lens... where the passenger side lens throws more light into the ditch?

I'm trying to reason through this, but I don't think the headlights could be swapped left to right...

Off to cruise ebay :)

Thanks for the input, Steve W
