    Cloudy Hella 4000 lenses

    Two of my four lenses have become very cloudy on the inside. Too cloudy to transmit much light. Hella suggested soaking them in rubbing alcohol for 24 hours or so. I have now done this twice with no effect. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Overhead Gun Rack

    I am thinking of installing a Big Sky Racks BSR 2 in my 03 II. For stability I am considering going straight through the roof. I have a roof rack and I don't plan on ever selling it so why not. Does anyone have any experience with these racks? If I just do the side mounts, will that be...

    Totally confused

    Yesterday, I tried to clean my windscreen by pulling the lever on the inside of the vehicle. Somehow, the rubber seal on the window had come loose and got caught in the wiper blade. I didn't know how to stop the process so I let it run it's course. As soon as it stopped, the check engine...

    Hella Lamp Adjustment

    I have just installed four Hella 4000's to the SD rack on my Discovery. Two of the lights seem to point just fine. The other two are pointing very high. How can I adjust them? The instructions mention taking them to a service center but I want to do it myself. Any ideas? David
