What can cause this to happen because my one of my headlights are scratched? Any input don't want to replace it especially because they have been painted like 2 months ago?

 

Depending how deep they are, you can wet sand and polish the lens. I heard after you bake the light, the plastic would get so soft that even a towel can cause scratches. Did you get them when you paint or...?

 

Well I think after a while that I got it painted I don't think it was due to that it self, but I will look into that and it's just one of them witch is weird

 

to me it looks like someone ran the buffing pad over it and it caused the scratches. obvisously its not going to be on the other one because the moron that buffed it saw the condition of the headlamp and didnt run the buffing pad over the other headlamp when he went to buff the other side. take it back to the body shop and complain asap

 

I have no idea, seems likes it but I'm screwed because I can't recall if it was after a carwash or what it was, now I'm screwed and need a replacement:-(. I guess I'll look around for a cheap one

 

Looks like you should be able to wet sand and polish the head light. Worth a try vs trying to buy new headlights.

 

yeah wet sand would be the best route for diy. he needs to use something thats over 1000 grit. use a good polish afterwards and throw on a coat of wax on the headlamp lense to finish.

 

Really guy? Your headlight has some minor itty bitty scratches and you're making it sound like the headlights are completely cracked, leaking water and don't even function at all.

There's no reason to buy a replacement headlight just because of those minor scratches.

What are you going to do when your new headlight gets the same minor surface scratches from a car wash? Buy a new one again?

All you need to do is refinish the headlights.

 

It looks worse in person, especially at the top and yes it bothers me I'm OCD about little things like that well it looks horrible, anyways I'm getting mine more customized and the guy has a new lense so I found a solution to the problem, I don't think I'll be going to car washes too much after this because also my halo efx wrap is getting bad too because of the chemicals so hand wash from now on

 

Body shops can usually reclear headlights if you want a new clear coat.

If you trust yourself with wet/dry sandpaper you can refinish them yourself and apply 3m protective film. That will add a nice clear coat for many years vs the revival kits that go back to scuffs in under 3 months.

 

Had to replante The lens, getting them upgraded and the guy was kindly to give me a used one and then he reconditioned them and clear coated them
