Default Re: Headlight problems

Yes, it does sit outside all the time. However, it is covered about 50% of the time. Same situation for my Miata I had for 17 years. Sat outside exposed a good deal of the time. No corrosion on headlight lenses. None. Only this car ... dang it anyway LOL

I recheck the passenger side lense. The corrosion is creeping up from the bottom as well....just beginning. Man, I hate that!

Anyway, hubby will check on what we need. I still have my old headlights from before I replaced them. They too got the heavy damage. We'll practice on those and see how well they do.

::waving::: Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, if we are successful, what do I need to get to protect them? Apparently these lens came with no protection at all...or inferior materials :-P

OK, I had kept the passenger side headlight, but I tossed the driver's side headlight (my originals). Funny thing is, the "old" passenger side headlight has on a fraction of the UV damage that the replacement now has. LOL. A good headlight to practice on.
