        just in case someone was wondering you can refresh the headlight lens on at least some these chinese tractors. I have a 2005 dongfeng le204a and the lens were real yellow . I bet I was losing 50% of light . I stumbled upon the turtle wax lens treatment cheap. (yard sale) So I used it and it worked well enough, The only thing I changed was I used wet/dry silicon carbide paper I had 500/ 800/1200 to do the sanding of the lens then the finest pad in the kit to finish, the pads that came with the kit are small and the lens was really bad. I do not know how long it will last but it looks good now.

          I used the same thing on my tractor. Worked pretty good. Way better then buying a whole new lens assembly, even if they were available….

          Also found out that you can use a number 880 Basic fog light bulb instead of the goofy right angle bulbs that come in the tractor. Available at any auto parts store and way cheaper too.

          I found some LED replacements but waiting for the current ones to burn out (shouldn’t be long) before replacing them.
