Headlight with brown/burnt marks?
Hey all has anyone seen similar wear and tear on their headlight aka brown?

Haven't seen browning in awhile. Reminds me of traditional bulbs going bad and turning that color. Does your headlight have smoked tint or protective film that's probably worn?

I think you are right about protective film on it I didn't think of that. I think the headlight got too hot and the protective film burnt or went brown.

Have you got protective film @untamedd
