On some headlights the lens can be separated fairly easily, on those you can coat the inside also and reassemble. Before tossing one in the bin try it first.


Stick it in the oven first to make it easier.

I use a heat gun on low.

Heat gun only warms a small area. Probably works, but oven much easier.

Replacement.

That’s what I did; I’d never bother with clearing it over and over

Wouldn't having some clear bra material applied right after sanding and polishing be the best permanent solution? Certainly it would be easier than trying to spray with clear coat. I had this applied to the new Corolla in the hopes it will prevent this from ever happening.

I tried this. The problem with clear bra is that it isn't very clear and it will hurt the headlamp's effectiveness. Also, it isn't a long lasting solution.
