    Yeah, I wonder what causes the lights to cloud over. Is it simply sunlight? Snow? Moisture? Age? All of the above???

    From what I've seen, I'm fairly certain it's UV attacking the plastic. The other stuff may be contributing some but considering that everyone's are starting to cloud up at about the same time, the UV seems like the most likely culpret.

    Probably UV radiation more than anything.When I windsurfed, it ate up my sails fast. I had an equipment bag that, because of the way it laid open,was white on one side and black on the side that was in the shade.

    My headlights look like I just went mudding, all the time.

    I took my headlights out to install some fog lights today.
    Since I have them out I decided to sand and clear them.

    We restore headlights at work (one of my many jobs).
    We sand the headlights with 1000, 1500, 2000.
    Then we use automotive two part clear.

    I guess I'll find out how long this way will last.

    lol, I meant to say I removed my headlights to change my headlight bulbs.

    Just kidding.
    I installed some driving/fog lights where the clear round parking lights are.
    Removing the headlights made the install a lot easier.
    I made some Z brackets and cut the holes larger
