Rogue Revision 6 Headlight shroud/Housing
Just a question to those who have Rogue or Revision 6 headlights.
UPDATE:
Panic over, I don't need new headlamp cowls - yay!

Re: Rusty Rogue Revision 6 Headlight shroud/Housing
- The light units can end up out of kilter and the adjusters can pull through the remaining metal. Not good if your MOT is due...juliankv73 wrote: ↑16/08/20 13:28 I'm guessing once the shrouds have rusted and are too far gone, the lights wont be usable anymore
All is not necessarily lost though. Give Rogue a call. I got new shrouds (plus the adjusters as those were also too far gone to reuse) from them last October.
As the shrouds are simply painted metal it's worth giving them some protection. I'm not convinced that powdercoating is the best solution though. Use ACF-50 or Boeshield T-9. Not a bad idea to make an annual inspection part of your maintenance schedule.
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Still many people here, many of us are not interested in farcebookjuliankv73 wrote: ↑16/08/20 13:28 Not sure whether to post this on here, as most people are on faceache etc....
We still average 200- 300 vistors a day according to Google Analytics, so still worth posting here I.M.O.

Re: Rogue Revision 6 Headlight shroud/Housing
You may find that when you remove the adjusters from the backing plate or try to pop them back in the plastic holders will snap, happens to me every time! I would get some spares just in case.
Also other than the fabricated bits everything else is bought off the shelf, if you can find the parts you can usually save a fair bit buying from elsewhere.
