Q3 2014 headlight lens

[longmanjon]

Hi all
I have purchased a q3 2014 sline and the lenses on the headlights have some imperfections,, they look like they unclip, so has anyone replaced them, they are plastic

They are not listed as a spare part, only a full light; what is the VIN? Do you think the marks would sand away and then polish?

Vin is wauzzz8u6er136450, as they are plastic I’m not sure how they would polish up. It’s like tiny splintering

Yes I known the pattern you mean, like micro cracking which looks worse at an angle, this tends to be deep inside the polycarbonate and something that seems to affect the plastic more with HID. Your lights 8U0 941 043 A left and 8U0 941 044 A right are quite expensive (nowhere near the most expensive Audi lights) at £668.40 each side. They are available aftermarket from Hella and Marelli but the long distance supply and mediocre savings make me question the idea
