Do you have the correct bulbs for it? If you have high intesity bulbs the heat may be affecting your lights.

wet sand them and then polish them out, and then put a good coat of sealer on top of that, then wax them every time you wax your car.

My headlights were doing the exact same thing as yours, looked like "clearcoat" was peeling off. They looked horrible!
Mine now look like glass. I used this kit on her, and i have also used it on many other cars as well and the results are always flawless. I just had to sand enough plastic off to get rid of all the "peeling" plastic. ![]() 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System US Here is a good video about it, it is exactly how i do it except i add a coat of Wizards Shine Master as the last step. 3m headlight
