How to fix Headlight lens scratch

wow. $6K for ONE headlight replacement ? are you sure that's the cost? Even the latest matrix type of LED headlights are around $3000 each.

I suggest you to take to a professional detailer and see if that can be fixed

How bad is the scratch and how did it happen?
Some pics would help.

In that case, I'll take 2 please!

wow op's first post in 10years..but 6k for a headlight swap only for a scratched lens?! is this a ferrari or something?

Some DIY repair kits can do that. Also some places, like car windows replacement specialists.

Holy smokes, his one headlight is worth more than both my cars.

I'd probably just scratch the other one to match...

OP, try a detailer to see if they can get buff that scratch out.

What car is it ?

Need some pics, has to be one heck of a sexy headlight for that kind of cash.

Manufacturers have to be laughing all night long as anyone in a collision has the result of winning the cash lottery for the company. Have to make note to ask that question prior to buying any car, never want to get into that situation.

Have you been to Canadian Tire or PartSource where they have a full idle full of detailing products? Time to get your hands a little dirty...

Return lease during rainstorm at night. You're welcome.

Or just buy lease end protection if it is not too late.

Try Meguiar PlastiX, found at CT. It is like 3M's ScratchX, but for clear plastic like found on most headlight lenses. Not sure if your 6k headlight unit is glass or plastic, but it couldn't hurt to try.

+1

If the scratch is too deep, try Mothers Mag Aluminum Polish a few times, and then PlastiX over and over.
