    Anyone with the above year v have "Scratches" appearing on their headlight lenses?
    Mine has developed this issue and is no doubt due to sunlight exposure. My car is in So CA and is unfortunately primarily parked outside.
    Just seems a bit frustrating since this seems to be premature for this vehicle.

    I guess I can try buffing them out with my headlight restoration kit but due to the protrusions on the lens, it will be a bit tricky.

    Anyone else share this phenomenon?

    Have a '12 v and no scratches or discoloration. But I park inside probably 80% of the daylight hours.
