Are the lenses on a 208 glass or plastic?

Tony.

Always thought they were glass Tony, but never had a 208 so wouldn't be able to tell.

 

[jotter22]

Me neither but glass would certainly be easier to clean than my 209 plastic ones!

I've seen other interesting guides which target heavily damaged lenses - its a bit more labour intensive & would require an enclosed space.

The method is basically

1. Sanding down the lenses - cant recall what grit was used, but I'm assuming something fine (to get rid of any imperfections & uneven surfaces from chips etc)

2. Wiping down with IPA, & Cover with 2k lacquer - again, can't recall how many coats, but the lights looked brand new when done.
