Hi All,
I've posted this in the body work topic also, but want to duplicate it here in case some of you don't check that topic (let me know if I should delete this).
I recently purchased a 2013 Mk7 GTi with terrible stress cracked headlights. I searched forums and read a whole lot of posts only to be recommended that I should go replace my headlights. I was also told that the stress cracks are internal and that I had to remove and bake the headlight and remove the lens and fix it from behind. Left with little hope I decided to give a local headlight restorer a go before continuing to contemplate new headlights.
To my surprised the gentleman managed to remove all the stress cracks. The headlights look as good as new!
Below are some before and after images.
And for those of you who have headlights which require restoration, I truly recommend hitting up www.headlightrestore.com.au (brisbane based).
