Does anyone know why the headlight case is peeling? Also, what can I do to fix it?

Ima guessing that a clearcoat was added to the lenses. I've never seen that before. Does ceramic coating do that when it's failing?

Mine looks just like that on my 22 uv protection failing, you could have it polished out, I'm going to hit the dealer up for replacement and see what they say

Polish / buff it out carefully, then maybe get clear bra or xPel. I did xPel on the headlamps the week I bought the car, road rash is real. Looks like xPel might have saved me from dealing with this as well.

Please let me know how that goes for you. Because the key dealerships are pretty shitty

At the time xPel was $150-ish for both lights. The headlamp housing is expensive to replace and sensitive enough to rock chips and sand blasting from road travel over time it's worth it. I can't imagine the cost to replace the headlamps has gone down since early 2021.

I don't know, but I hate it!
A car this expensive, should not have headlights doing that! After 5yrs
