    if you have cloudy headlights you can clear coat them to bring back a very shiny housing

    It never at any time entered my mind that headlights had clearcoat on them. Maybe it's the plastic used to ship them, and you forgot to take it off? LOL.

    A picture would help. Is it like a film? does it look chipped or cloudy?

    Yes all JDM headlights have a clear coat on them, what you can do is wetsand them and reclear the headlights, a lot of people with the 1piece lights run into this problem

    It shouldnt be if he has used lamps, even new ones dont have a layed of plastic on it, since the JDM lamps are platic they have a layer of clear coat on them
