    Vehicle : 2t

    Trim : standard

    Engine : z20net

    Year : 08

    Mileage : 32000

    Default Headlights crazing..

    I have looked...honest and if this is in the wrong section then feel free to either move this post or throw the customary abuse at me..

    My 08 headlights look like ****e as they appear to have an internal crazing on both lens..no obvious marks or anything tactile.

    Is it new headlight time or anything I can try?..I havetried polishing them with a mop but no change hence my thinking its internal..

    My lights on the Signum are like this too, at the top. Don't think there's anything you can do about it to be honest.

    It's UV damage, the same as the damage you can polish out, IF you use the right combination of wet and dry paper (500 through to 2500) followed by cutting compound and then polish. If that doesn't work, then the damage has gotten too bad to repair and it's new headlight time.

    Yes as said if the crazing is inside then no flatting or polishing is going to work so would be better to get youre self a good condition second hand set which can be picked for not much unless you have AFLs.
