Thanks so much to all of you. As scary as it is, looks like sanding would be the solution. I have never owned a car in my life where lenses did this sort of thing.
An old post I found says this happens because of lack of maintenance. I don't think that's true at all. I wash, wax, my car often. So often, I am asked why I wash a car that is already clean.
I will definately check into this sanding stuff. I guess I'll have to remove my eyelids first LOL?
Thanks much to all of you
