Head light
My driver side head light lens is turning a milky yellow. Found the washer fluid container to be filled with snot, sucked out with shop vac. Put some vinigar in then tried to flush. Head light washers working, blew out lines to wipers but the Tee or diaphragm is bad. Can you buy a new diaphragm or must you replace the entire line. Dealer does not show just diaphragm. This is a 2007 xkr. Thanks for all the tips I have followed them all and love driving her.

My NL garage seems to be able to fix them (exco.nl) perhaps they ship too

Is it the plastic lens that is milky. If so you can refurb them. I used a 3M kit bought from Amazon and it works brilliantly.
You can watch how on YouTube
Just Google 3M headlight refurb to find it.
I used a sealer afterwards which I also bought from Amazon. They now look nearly new.
Just follow the instructions and it is easy.

Is the milky substance on the inside or outside of the headlight? Newer model XKs have experienced moisture in headlights which causes internal staining of the headlight. There is a TSB on this. I also read that older model years had seal issues.
I had a moisture issue in my headlights but had the dealer replace both headlights as it was under warranty. Depending on your situation, there is a link that you may be interested in regarding headlight staining issue
