Hey gang I need to known if anyone knows how or if you can clear coat Raxiom Taillights ? Mine work fine and aren't cracked or broken but the clear coat is pealing and I hate to replace them when their working as these damn things were expensive. Any help anyone can give me would be great thanks.View media item 8622

Mine are starting to get a little sketchy around the outside edge. I was thinking of masking them off and using a few coats of VHT night shade or some other kind of spray tint.

Interesting, how long have you guys had them?

I bought Raxiom headlights in 2015 and 5 years later they started flaking. Not like old headlights get cloudy, but the plastic was flaking off. I used a headlight restore kit and cleaned them up, been fine since. I bought the Gen V tail lights 2 years ago, so now I know what to expect.

Good 'ol Chinese manufacturing at play here.

If you're going to clear coat then you will need to wet sand them first. 400 grit then 600 grit. I think VHT makes a clear in rattle can.

Wow, a 400 dollar taillight set falling apart that quickly? That kind of scares the hell out of me in terms of the life of mine. I've had mine since 2020, think I'm gonna start waxing them every season to protect them from UV.
