Head Light Fade and flakes - Saudi Arabia - Toyota Yaris Forums

Omprakash · 10-05-2015, 12:32 PM

My 2008 Yaris driver side Head Lamp lower part is faded (see the photo) with some material which on slight scrap come out as flakes of very fine thickness. I am not sure whether flake material is part of the Head Lamp or foreign material. Passenger side head lamp is not having any such issue. Car is used in extreme hot conditions of Saudi Arabia where temperature can go upto 55 degC in open space.

Question: what is the source of fade. Will this go away by polishing? (A year before I got both head lights polished first time after purchase in 2008) Or head light replacement is necessary due to aging? I have caution warning on head light inspection next inspection due a next year
