Or you could polish the headlights up and apply a uv coating protectant to them.
There used to be an older gentleman living across the street from me watching me always fiddling with my cars. Used to tell me that it was time to raise the radiator cap and replace the car.I like your logic. Out of windshield fluid? Time to get the 2016. (drinks)
After restoring the lights on my wife's '06 Miata a couple of years ago (and therein removing any semblance of UV coating) I started using this once a month https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) on both her car and my CX-5. Seems to help, but there's nothing like keeping a car garaged to ward off this kind of damage.Or you could polish the headlights up and apply a uv coating protectant to them.

Maybe a long shot, but isn't the standard warranty on these cars 3yr-36k miles? Idk about your mileage but maybe it's worth looking into. I wouldn't really call headlight housings a "wear and tear" item so warranty should apply IMO
anyone notice any coating degradation of their headlight lens yet?View attachment 212260View attachment 212261View attachment 212262
yep, good point. I've seen this on other vehicles I've owned but I never get proactive about it when I get something new.Preventative maintenance works best. Apply UV waxes to the headlights every few months, takes 5 minutes but will protect and prevent UV damage. Once damaged it requires sanding & polishing the lens with a high speed wheel to repair it.
bought 20% light smoke tint to put over, hopefully it will mask it and improve the look of my front end as well
