Replacing Subaru lens, lens removal and assembly

 These parts are pricey.   The lens alone would set you back by P3,000+ and the whole assembly by P40,000.   

I got interested in this because water entered the headlight assembly of the subaru forester we had.   You have to find the tabs, remove the front grille and bumper, then you can remove the headlight assembly.

To remove the lens from the plastic body you can do:   1.   use a blowtorch (or hair blower) to soften the plastic   2   invent an oven (a box where you blow in the hot air for 15-30 minutes.

Carefully remove the plastic, clean the interior and polish.   You should watch the Pakistani craftsmen do this the lens cleaning

Those remarkable Pakistani craftsmen capable of doing almost any repairs

 One cant help but admire the remarkable skills of Pakistani craftsmen in metal repairs:

1.  Broken trucks repair

2.  Upgrade of trucks from short body to long body;

3.  Repair of broken gears

4.  Die casting of parts, like alum wheels;

5.  Even making of lathe machine

6.  Mass production of nails, rebars, and other metal products from scrap metal.

Am sure from this repair will rise manufacturing and fabrication prowess

and they are so cheap.   One job would cost say $10.00.  How we wish we could access their cheap but quality repairs.  They weld well and make sure that the finishes are smooth and clean    They constantly use lathe machines to make their work appear A1.   Remarkable.  

In our town and next town, there were many such shops but they died down with next generation.  Yuson, Santos, etc.    All other manufacturing shops vanished and even factories.    Say the C5 is all but 100% residential.
