Jazz '06 Headlight help
Hi guys. I'm actually quite new here and need help with my Honda Jazz.
The other day someone stuck some sort of paper tape onto my headlights. After I removed it, the sticky residue remained and sort of ate into the covering of the headlights. I've had it professionally cleaned and even they could not remove it. Recently I was told by my mechanic that my can would not be able to pass a safety check due to the residue stain on my headlights. I've contacted the local Honda dealership who told me that the only way to fix the problem is to replace both headlights.
Seeing as each headlight costs AU$450 (around US$480) I find it a bit shocking that the only way to fix this problem is by paying such a large amount of money.
Therefore I am just wondering whether what the dealership said was the only way to fix this problem, keeping in mind that only the outer covering (the glass protecting the bulbs inside) is damaged.
Thanks in advance for all the help I can get.
