Ok, what i've done:

Went to my paint shop , the boss asked his workers to use sandpaper, followed by compound, followed by "special chemical coating that bonds with the plastic" as a sealant , the finished with a polish.

After that , just as a precaution from future oxidisation , i went to "Tom's Sticker" and asked them to put a protective layer (tint/sticker) on my head-lamps.

Now it looks pretty ok . maybe even a bit cool :rofl:

Then the same thing happens, I ask for other...
