Solution to headlight glare?

[vespbretta]

No big deal, Tom. Of course probably all of these headlights nowadays have plastic lenses. I should have known it better anyway...  ...or asked a second time.
So in the end its my own fault and confusion.
But these damn plastic lenses are so crystal clear and with all those "glass-like" marks and signs on it and it felt really hard and strong (knocked on it before), so that I was tempted to use the "other" side of the sponge to get rid of the remaining glue of the electrical tape. 

Thanks for the advices for the car polish. I´ll give that a first try, ´cause that´s what I have at home.

I had to use orange degreaser to remove the tape gunk.

I have used plain old Crest toothpaste to remove metal scratches from auto windscreen. May work for you on plastic. Toothpaste, water, and a soft toothbrush. Circular motion. Hope that helps.

I just added a strip of 3m (or at least I thought it was 3m) automotive vinyl wrap to the top of mine.  Although I found out afterwards that the light still can "glow" through the vinyl wrap a little, but I was able to get it on there nice and straight, and I used a gunmetal/metallic grey that looks like the stripes on my matte black Like.  It does look a little odd at night, but the glare is stopped.

I use Novus plastic polish to clean my auto headlights of the ugly yellow build-up that degrades light transmission. They come in varying grades of grit to remove and polish plastics. Here's a link to the website. http://www.novuspolish.com/

Tap Plastics carries the product.

I use Novus plastic polish  for yellow tinted plastic Lens. It also works for removing scratches in the windscreen.  I use a 5" random orbit electric polisher.  Because of the extremely fine grit in the polish it takes awhile to remove scratches but does a nice job.

@Kk yes, if an item is not available anymore.
 I'm a pretty cheap guy but IMO it's not worth the effort when i.g. an headlamp assambly for my Grand Dink 150 costs €36,- new inclusive bulbs and delivery.

I can't argue with that,  very reasonable.  Ruffus your not cheap your frugal.  When I get the liquid cooled Bet&Win 150 I will try to get some pictures. I bet it will be a match to your liquid cooled Xiciting 150.

@Kk, frugal is the word👍😄
