Hi All,
I have had my KIWI Master headlights for a little over a year now and love them. However I noticed these weird crystal like marks on the headlights that have been getting worse over the past month. Any idea what this could be?
I understand headlights haze, but this doesn't look like typical hazing. Can these be restored? Ot just get a new set?

Is it it on the inside or outside?

I had a set of Kiwi Masters installed for barely a day. The ones I received had greasy smudges all over the interior projector lenses. It is fully possible that yours are defective. A well made and maintained headlight should not fade or look like yours.

I got a full refund from Amazon since they arrived late. I decided to go with Oracle Oculus bi-leds instead and have the Kiwis sitting in a box somewhere.

Thanks for the reply. It's definitely on the outside. How do you like the Oculus?

and it's weird Bc these lights looked perfect for the first 14 months...

you mean inside?

It is outside of the lens. I can feel the rough texture.


Also note both headlights started doing this at the same time

super weird. If it’s on the outside I’m wondering if it’s been sprayed with something that causes it.

Best headlights for the money, in my opinion.

Try getting a clay bar and using it on one of the headlights. See if that stuff comes off. It almost looks like paint (or some other) overspray.
