Re: Anybody have luck with headlight restoration?
Be sure to find out WHY the headlamps are fogging or becoming discolored. I have a tiny small cracks on the bottom of my driver’s side headlight at the bottom where the bumper connects to it. It’s not visible without getting deep in there and peeking through the bumper plastics. This is the root cause to my discoloration issues.
There is no magic cream that will restore the color and clean up the clear plastic because it’s the moisture filled air that penetrated the inside of the clear plastic. In my case, which should be similar everyone else who has Toyota headlights it's not cheap plastic, its internal damage to the structure itself.
Once the sealed lights are cracked it can only be glued or replaced. If there is absolutely no cracks you should check your light bulbs because they have a rubber gasket to help seal them into the headlight fixture.
good luck with the headlight ointment though
