Hi, all.
Has anyone had this issue? Have noticed spider webbing suddenly appeared, to run finger over it feels raised fine fibers.
It's definitely not something stuck on lens. looks to me like plastic lens has reacted to something.
other head light is fine.

Just polish it flat, try a darker area first to prove it comes good.

I did have little go cutting compound, didn't touch it. feels like need to be wet sanded first. Not sure want to try that mind.

Wet & dry dude with bowl of water with fairy liquid in, work through the grades 1k to 3k & polish up with compound, repeat until clear, if need be go below 1k to start.

Maybe i maded this up in my head, but if wet sand and polish don't ment to have it lacquered?
 
No you've probably just seen it done on insta or the like, but they're hard plastic lenses, afaik not lacquered, it's just others that lacquer them after the lense fix, they will still clean up without lacquer, test in one area to the side.
