Headlight fading
2007 S80
Is it possible to change front of headlight. Problem is my driver's side headlight has started peeling thin layer of plastic off and its dull underneath. Mine are Xenon's and the problem is directional ones so finding it hard to source used one. Can a normal xenon headlight be modified |

Have you tried Googling "headlight refurbishment"? There are companies that can do a professional job and re-seal the outer to stop future deterioration and UV damage. Alternatively you could try a DIY kit.
