In episode 6 of the BMW E30 325i restoration project, I restore the headlights. Again, these are something I have already restored before starting YT. So I bought some from eBay for the channel thinking they were pre-facelift metal frames, not facelift plastic frames. But none the less, it was still a fun restoration.

As most of the mounts and adjusters hadn't been moved in years, it was quite tricking getting everything apart compared to putting it back together. Once apart, I got straight to blasting the surrounding rings to remove all the rust and old paint. I then buffed them on the buffing wheel and hammered them straight as some were bent. I then etched, primed, filled, primed, painted and lacquered the rings. The main headlight housings only need a clean and a small amount of rust removal. When I was preparing for this project, I forgot about that fact I might need to touch up the backs of the lights. I'm going to get some paint and do that in the near future. Once everything was clean and rust free, I set about restoring the lenses. I had some trouble to begin with as the kit I got was for plastic headlights. The sandpaper did nothing to the glass. I then swapped the paper supplied for some aluminum oxide paper and that cut straight through the top layer. After going over with 320, 600, 1000 grit sandpaper I then used some water with a 3000 grit 3M pad before moving to the orange sponge pad with cutting compound. I was happy with the ends results but I would have to do a lot more work to get rid of the chips. I could have also lacquered the lenses and may still do this. It was then a matter of reassembling the headlights and giving them a test as I hadn't done so before then. All of the lights worked and are nice and bright. Restoration complete.
