New Headlight completly different from other
Good afternoon,
Someone gave me a light touch on my car and I had to replace a headlight. It turns out that the new headlight is much whiter than the old one. Is there any way to resolve this without spending a fortune? The insurance company refuses to pay me for the other headlight.
The car has 5 years and only 70.000km. I am sad with this.

This is most likely caused by the slight yellowing of your OEM light. 5 years and 70 000 km will cause it. It may not look like it, but if you look closely you might be able to see a slight bit of haze on the old light compared to the new one. You could try to buff it, might help.
