- This is how I replaced the cloudy headlight lenses on my facelift 2010 L322 Range Rover. If you're thinking about doing this job on yours, this might help you out.
The small ratchet that I used is like this one: www.amazon.co.uk/Socket-Ratch... (I have no affiliation with this seller). - Навчання та стиль
Finally someone made a video on the mk3 l322 headlight lens replacement, thank you for this going to do mine and yes it is worth it
Awesome video. I'm two days into the project, have cut and cleaned both. About to clean and reassemble.
Made a cutting tool by sharpening a verandah bolt head and then sticking that to a drill. Not bad if a job of you know what you're getting into. And this video tells you all you need to know.
Thanks man, I really appreciate the comment. Hope it goes smoothly for you and let us know how you got on and especially if I missed anything. Sometimes the comments hold as much useful information as the videos here and the more people that write about their experiences the more it helps others.
With temperatures around 25°C my butyl tape was pretty tacky, after setting the sealant and putting the two main pieces together, I placed the headlights in the sun for some minutes, I then used a water pump pliers to press the parts together going around the perimeter. I used the "carbon fibre cloth" to protect the shiny parts from the jaws of the pliers. This worked better than using hands to press the two together. (But I'm sure if an oven is available and you get the parts to 80°C there wouldn't be much pressing required)
Thanks bud. Go have yourself a beer. 👊🏼
Love your down to earth defeatist presentation personality, really informative and comprehensive 👍
Hi mate! Good job and I was very happy to find this video. Currently busy replacing the lenses on mine. A question that came to me after removing the two T10 screws with the small ratchet tool: how do we fasten these again after the insert is fitted into the lens? Greetings from a fellow M539 fan 😁
You can just use a screwdriver to fit them as there is easy access once the lens is off and the light bucket isn't there to stop you getting to it. It will all make sense when you do it. 👍
@@FatNFurious Thanks mate! I did it! The new lenses really stand out and make the car look stunning again! It was a very long and frustrating job that got me questioning the necessity of it every minute until I got the new lens fitted. I was happy to find your coverage on this pig of a job!
@@mikaelangelosgarage I am so pleased to hear this, I still glance at mine whenever I walk towards the front of the car, it was definitely worth the effort in the end. Really glad I was able to help you out.
Why not heat them up first to free the glue, mine worked out better that way without having to cut them off. Also, warm the butyl up for a minute, makes it easier to apply. I baked mine 75 deg c for 6mins to loosen, 8 mins on 75C to reseal.
Brilliant
Great video thank you! Where did you get the spare plastic lenses? Difficult to find them...
eBay I think, loads of them for sale.
Awesome job and very helpfull clip, I think it is the only clip covering the 2010-2012 headlights. What is the black adhesive silicone band called? How should I search for them on ebay? Can you give us a link? Thank you, great job
It's called butyl sealant 6mm x 8mm so you can search for that. I bought this one but it is at least 1.5 rolls too much, it won't go off so I guess I have it for next time (*sighs). www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183695194433?itmmeta=01HPFRHWDPQZP4B8QW17QPPXCG&hash=item2ac5163941:g:l8kAAOSwjexbm67E.
Will heating the glue help at all?
Nope, it's not the kind of glue that would melt.
i hope these last you a lifetime. i’m afraid i’ll have to sand and polish 🥲 thanks for sharing

That’s the earlier pre facelift headlight
@@FatNFurious OH!!
