It appears my headlights are peeling. After a google search, it seems to be the clear coat that goes on the headlights.

Anyone else have this on their trucks? Anyone have any tips to fix it?

You had to make look! I checked the set I just pulled out to install my LED lights. That is just a mold line on the inside of the light. They are all that way. Part of the manufacturing process.

:idea: Now it's time for my sales pitch.

Jim, Use the 303 Graphene Nano spray on them along with all the other plastic, glass, rubber and body. It has super UV protection and you won't have to worry about your headlights hazing down the road.

BTW....:stop: Stay away from that snake oil 404 junk Duke @DukeCanBuildit is trying to peddle off. He just bought a house and Mrs Duke is on a buying spree.

?Wait until he finds out Annies coming in next week to help her out! o_O:curse:

Wait... I cannot wait to check this after work. If I am really that dumb - actually I won't even be surprised at this point.

OP - are you referring to the clearly defined lines in the plastic or this? The lines are normal.

Kinda - Looks like it is from a Orbital Buffer (pad edge) hitting the housing when it's along the front edge of the hood. (As a POSSIBLE Cause)

If not, and if under the 3yr-36K or Extended Warranty Plan

Peeling Headlights is a - Covered Item

Nope it's peeling, mine is doing it too, only really started in the last year or so, but then my truck is 4 years older than yours is.

When I just checked my truck into service for the transmission, I asked about that, he said because I'm out of 36 months I would need to call Ford customer service.

He said a lot of them have that problem.

I didn’t know that linked to anything - just assumed it was a picture - certainly not clicking it now. ?

Thanks for the heads up. ?
