i cant believe im having this probelm already..i had the car about 2 months now it was my brothers before and wasnt driven much..about 13k miles on it and im already seeing my headlights starting to have these marks in them. is everyone else having the same problem? i didnt think i would run into this problem this soon my 07 si lights arent even starting to cloud up yet.

 

I cant really tell if they look cloudy or if they just look sandblasted. The acrylic that the lens is made of is really prone to little chips from road debris thus looking sandblasted. My IX started to get like that. If you have the availability to take the head lights out to a detail shop and have them buff them, they will take out some of that cloudyness/chips.

 

Cover them with xpel to save their finish... That's what I did, they keep them looking brand new.

 

You need to cover them with something like clear 3m.

 

where did you get that from?

 

Is your vehicle garaged or do you keep it outside? The elements will have an adverse effect on the longevity of your headlamps. They do look sandblasted in the pics though.

 

They sent us a pair to try, check their website http://www.xpel.com you should be able to locate a dealer on there. We installed them with a alcohol/water mixture and a heat gun, pretty easy and straightforward.

 

Is Xpel anything like 3M scotchcal? Cause I got a big ol' roll of it as an engineering sample.
