Mine are cracked and I wonder if past polishing are partly to blame. The more you polish and clean the thinner they get.

Umm I already posted you can wet sand and clear with an automotive grade uv resistant clear coat like upol#1. This gives a new layer to polish if it yellows. Mine are still clear 6+ months later and my car is now parked outside 24/7 and never covered. If you choose to polish every couple of months then yes you are slowly thinning out your lights, but I would think you woukd have to polish them 20+ times before you thinned them out enough to weaken the plastic.

I feel like its a mixture of the hid and halogen glowing weird together and turning green at the bottom. Not sure.Anyone with hids in both positions that still glows green toward the bottom?
