Headlights on 2020 Passat

[Bruce Luckhurst]

Tried to take off beam deflectors on arrival back in Portsmouth. They left awful sticky white mess on lamps. My wife gave me a nail varnish remover pad which did the trick but cracked the covers badly within a minute!!! Can I just replace this p[art or do I have to go the whole 2K plus hog? (We are, surprisingly, still talking.)

You could see if the cracking is only superficial or deep and may benefit from rubbing back with fine 1200 grit wet and dry to see if this removes it and then use T-Cut to bring to a high polish

Hello, you can look at the disassembly, it can be replaced inexpensively https://srotas24.co.uk/
