BIG QUESTION! Front lamp has a hairline crack....

[Chasenz]

Hey Everyone... first post here! BTW I LOVE MY G.... ok here goes.

I have a huge question for anyone to answer.... there has been a recent downpour in California and I had my driver side headl lamp short out on me twice. Thank God it's under warranty...

My G is a 2005 Coupe... I would like to know can I upgrade my lamps to the 2006 projectors? If yes, I know where to get them. If no, what do you all suggest I do? Just buy a new one case?

Also, one last question, what is the best way of getting rid of rock scratches on the windshield and plastics...

Pheww... what a first post that was....

Feel like a bonehead... should have used the search feature for "headlight" ugh... well I learned my lesson. No longer will I hide and just peruse these boards... I am officially ACTIVE=)

Just a heads up on the 06 projectors, there was a federal recall on them because something with the originals was screwed up. So if you don't want any problems for sure, make sure you have good ones, but if you find some taken off due to the recall, I highly doubt you'll have problems.

Haha I see that... I have been floating around on these boards for as long as I've owned my G.... roughly 2 months.

I guess my other question would be do you guys know any way to get rid of rock scratches on plastics (headlamp lenses) and on my windshield. It seems the other owner of the car must have lived in the desert or something...

Welcome! Thanks for the use of search function. Now, post some pics in the members' rides thread

I'm really not sure about the headlight fix to get rid of the chips to be honest...anyone else in here??

If the front of your car is heavily chipped and drives you nuts, if you spend the $$$ to fix it, you may want to invest in a clear bra afterwards to prevent future occurences!

You've been lurking for 2mos before you posted?? what took ya soo long??

I bought used 06 headlights in october off ebay and they just pop in...didn't know about the recall but I haven't had any problems (knock on wood).

[Chasenz]

Oh sweet thanks guys! Yah I may just head to ebay and pick up some 06's.... as for the scratches... I'm wondering if there is a light abrasive compound that might work... anyone have any experience with any brand?

Thanks! Oh and as fro my lurking... I'm wanted to settle in and check out the people on the board b4 I hopped in to join. You all seem really cool... and your love for the G is just like mine! I LOVE this car... almost too much... haha

Get a plastic polish from 3M or Maguires plasticX. Works great on the headlights!!

SWEET! Thanks Joe... I'll go run to Kragen right now and grab some. Now only to find some compound for my windshield... thats the last thing I want to do is buy a whole new windshield for some really annoying rock specks...any suggestions on that issue?
