Camry :: Cloudy Film Seems To Be Inside Of Each Headlight
I just purchased a used 07 Camry. We love it but the headlights look very strange. There is a cloudy film on what seems to be the inside of each headlight, some areas are worse than others.
I would like to replace them (mostly for resale value later on) but wanted to post here before I drop a whole bunch of money on new headlamp mounts.
Prius (2001-03) :: Discoloration Inside Headlight Lens?
I have a 2002 that I recently "bumped" into a wall, requiring replacement of the drivers side headlight assembly (along with a little body work). The body shop said they would buff the passenger side lens to make it look just like the new one, but when I picked up the car the headlights looked like day and night. The foreman told me that they buffed the lens as best as they could, but the discoloration was on the inside and that there was no way to take the lens off the assembly. Is this true, or just trying to sell me another headlight assembly?

My lens on my city light popped off. It seems like I might be able to reach it and get it from the city light socket, but it'd be impossible to turn it around and stick it back. The next option would be to cut the headlights open. I'm about to just give up and let it sit there.

I have noticed that the headlights/protective lenses in my 98 Passat have gotten very cloudy. When i rub my fingers on them you can feel kind of a rough surface.
The performance has obviously diminished and I would like to try to buff them.
A friend told me that it is caused by the ultraviolet rays from the sun and indeed the car has spent a lot of time outdoors. Any good plastic cleaners to do the job without having to replace the headlight assembly??

I plan to replace my Halogen low beams with xenons in a 2003 b5 (v6 auto 4motion). Can't figure out how to remove the shroud over the power steering reservoir to provide access to the driver's side lamp - the passenger side looks pretty straightforward.

I have a 2003 F250 Lariat with the OEM power mirrors with the turn signal on them. I let someone drive my truck and they hit something with the mirror and broke the plastic lens. The mirror housing itself is fine. I can't find just that lens anywhere!
View 7 RepliesToyota :: Highlander Cloudy Headlights - Getting Dim
About a year ago our headlights were getting dim . Our dealer referred us to a company that had a process to polish the lights and restore their brightness. Now after a year or so the lights are again cloudy and need attention. I purchased a kit but haven't tried it yet because of winter in Wisconsin.
I've also read that toothpaste can be used to clean and polish the lens on headlights.
Prius (2010-12) :: Energy Display Is Blurry / Cloudy
I just bought a 2010 Prius V and noticed the energy display is blurry and cloudy. I've read some other thread with others experiencing this issue but didn't find a solution to the problem. It seem to be blurry on the inside part of the display, nothing that can be cleaned off from the outside.

My 2010 Prius Hybrid System Indicator suddenly becoming cloudy one day. Its inside the glass cover and I initially thought it was condensation, but it hasn't gone for several weeks.
I have the Toyota Extra Care Platinum extended warranty, so took my car to a Toyota dealer. They said it was due to some chemical reaction from something I used.
I found that ridiculous because I don't use any chemicals on my car, let alone myself but they didn't budge. I have to call Toyota & see what they have to say.
Camry 2012+ :: Protective Film On Climate Control Panel Cloudy?
I just bought a 2014.5 Camry SE. I am really loving this car but I have a question. The black shiny climate control panel (manual climate control) seems a little cloudy. I was wondering if this has a protective film from the factory that needs to be peeled off. I cannot tell by looking at it, and don't want to mess with it until I know.
View 1 RepliesPrius C :: Reflection Of Dashboard On Windshield During Daytime Makes View Cloudy
This last week, I bought a Prius C 4, love everything about it but... the front windshield reflection. The reflection of the dashboard during daytime makes the view somewhat cloudy, at night the reflection at night appears to be like a shroud over most of the windshield. So much so that the peripheral vision is almost nil. I think this can be dangerous as demonstrated by almost hitting 2 deer on my first drive home! I've ordered a dashmat cover and await its delivery. Hopefully this will alleviate the problem, if not my dealer will be getting the car back until this problem is resolved. Dimming the dashboard light has no effect.

The headlights on my 94' 4x4 have been kind of cloudy looking since I bought it two years ago. It's not condensation on the inside, the glass just looks like it has something on it. Is this a common problem?
View 10 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Chatter / Binding If Rock Steering Wheel Back And Forth - Fluid Very Cloudy / Gritty?
I replaced the steering gear box in my 06 F250 CCLB 6.8 over the weekend with a reman Cardone. The old gear box had what I can best describe as a chatter/binding if you rocked the wheel back and forth, that's gone now. I sucked out as much fluid as I could, then filled the reservoir several times while the fluid ran out, what came out was very cloudy and gritty, guessing the old box was chewing itself up.
Can't seem to find a straight answer - what fluid SHOULD this have in it?
Sounds like I should have used Mercon, looks like I grabbed Type F instead. Could that cause the steering effort to be extremely light? I mean like ridiculously light, tip of your pinkie barely touching and turning the wheel light?

Passat (B5) :: 2002 - Headlight Going Off And On Intermittently
I have a 2002 1.8t. The headlights have been going off and on intermittently for a little while now. I thought I fixed the drivers side but I guess I did not. It seemed there was a problem with the headlight socket so I took it apart and put electrical tape around the worn areas and put it back. It held up ok for a little while but would continue to go out. If I wiggle it comes back on. Then the passenger side started doing the same thing. I am wondering if a new wiring harness will fix the problem or could the problem be beyond that.

I have a 2007 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition. The passenger side headlight went out today. This is my first VW, but I've never had a headlight go out this early. A few questions:
1) Is this normal?
2) How much is a new bulb?
3) Can I replace it myself or should I go to the dealer?
Passat (B5) :: Xenon Headlight Out Intermittently?
Ok, so I pull into the garage tonite and it looks like the headlight is out (Passenger Xenon), I check. Yup. So, I turn the lights off and on and she comes back. Now, I have heard there is problems with the ignitor/etc with these lights. I am at 34,000 miles on the car. Is this covered under warranty or should I just make do with it. I suspect this has happened before as I had my coworker tell me my light was out before.
