Title: Frosted headlight?
Post by: Pld118 on 13 February 2016, 10:57

Noticed today that the front driver's side headlight has that frosted look on the clear cover.  Passenger side fine.

Is this a known issue, if so why's it like that (bulbs too hot) and can anything be done with the lens cover to eradicate it (aside to a replacement headlight unit)?

Thanks

Can it be DIY done and is there a method/ particular type of materials required please?
