If anything this thread is a reason to think twice before spending money on aftermarket headlights.

The smart thing to do is coat brand new aftermarket headlights with multiple coats of UV clear coat out the box. My Winjets did this crap after 1 year but now I'm getting a new set 4 years later thanks to a deer accident.

Eh. My OEM 13 BRZ lights look worse. If only someone made lens replacements. I'm debating buying a set of new TYC reflector lights just to steal the lenses off them. |

I would just pull the lights, wetsand with 1000 grit and then spray the whole thing with SprayMax 2k clear. It is a 2-part activated polyurethane clear with UV inhibitors. Follow that up with a sheet of Xpel. No chipping or peeling to worry about again.

Headlight Restore kit

Yea that won't fix the cracks on the inside of the lens though. None of what you see is on the outside of the lens. In person you can tell it's a bunch of micro cracks (from UV exposure), the camera only captures a haze. |
