Title: Headlights - Not fogging, something else!
Post by: Pete McCue on October 11, 2024, 19:58
Hi all, the headlights on my car are really nice and clear but they do have a number of small fractures in the acrylic. Not stone damage, more like stress cracks. hardly noticeable from the front but can be seen from the side. Any idea if there's anything that can be done about them? Cheers.

I'm afraid its probably to do with ageing plastic, mine had the same and I don't think there's much you can do about it sadly. Infact the pfl were actually better than the fl lights for this. ;D

I can see similar in my 2002 lights and I believe the crazing is a result of TMB,
too many birthdays.

Same here. Have been for years. But don't seem to be advancing.

I also have a clear diagonal stripe with no fractures at all.
