Hi
Have noticed my rear lights have started to fade around the edge..

What's the best /easiest way to bring the back to life..? Or remove fading?

Thank you in advance

Look on youtube for headlight restoration, if you're not competent pay a local detailing guru who is

What are you scrubbing your lights with to do this?

Not much you can do if the colours fade apart from buy new ones.

Mine looked like that on my old car. Only the inner lights were affected.

Mine done same thing. Outers are fine but inners are a bit faded, but don't know why??

Its because of the chemicals that they put in the liquid for washing the rear window...mine were the same, i used sandpaper p1500 and p2000 with water, around 5-8 min each, and after that with polish paste until i liked the result...

The sun will bleach the colours as well, especially if the car is never garaged.

My inner rears are going dull as well. I don't use any strange chemicals and don't even park in sunlight. It must be the cheap plastic used by the manufacturer - Hella. No doubt it would polish out

Just grab some G3 normal & smooth, that'll fix those easily.

Mines the same, i wet sanded them back and re laquered them , fine for a month or so now the same, they advise wet snading polishing and theb make sure you wax them after , the lobger you keep waxxing them the longer theyll be fine
