Clear coat failing on headlights?

[irvsmith]

Is this what is happening on my headlights? You think I should try one of the headlight restore kits?

That almost looks like the plastic is cracked or shattering. Maybe it will not polish out so I would try a heavy cut compound first and see what gives.

Mine looked like this too, I too suspected that the factory coating had begun to fail. I used this 3M kit to restore the lenses and they came out great.

I just followed the instructions in the box, and the video on their website. I just chose to use the CarPro DLux coating I had around instead of the provided 3M sealant in hopes of some more durability. It's been about 9 months and they're still holding up great.
