Both headlights are crazed on the surface where someone had fixed stick-on beam benders. Question is will this be an MoT failure?

 

[Boringfrog]

I would say no.

Not unless it effects the beam pattern so probably OK.
Makes you cringe the amount of people that leave beam benders permantly in place, anything over a few weeks is risking it with plastic headlamps.

Here in Spain the sun affects the headlight and people polish them before itv ( mot ) but you can get a kit.

this is an example not something I have used. Bob.

With the cost of new ones being exorbitant I certainly wouldn't change them unless they failed whi'ch Im pretty sure they won't.

• Just read the instructions from the E Bay link. Looks quite clear how to do it.

• Wash the water with the need to repair the headlamps, dry water stains, and then around the headlamps with tape wrapped around 2-3 laps.

• Sandpaper with water soaked in the back of the sponge, the headlamps on the surface of the dirt part of the grinding off.

• Squeeze the amount of blue powder on the headlamps, with sponge orange soft surface polished headlamps at least 2 minutes, know the headlamps shiny, and then talk sponge clean and clean.

• Extend the black bag on the headlamps and wipe the headlamps with a soft sponge for at least 3 minutes. This step is used to protect against UV light.

I think i'll risk it, it goes in the end of the month, so I will soon know

I think the kits are Ok for polishing out cloudy/foggy headlamps, don't think they will remove the crazing.
