Default Need Help ASAP With Headlights!!!!

Hey guys I need help with my headlights.

It seems as if a rust build up/burning of my headlights is happening on each inside corner of my headlight.

Is there any cleaner I can buy I know they sell products in regard to fogged headlights, etc.

Is there any other cleaner out there I can use for burns/rust.

Pictures are attached.

Thanks!!!

I'm thinking you might have to crack them open, clean them up n reseal them. While ur in there might as well black them out.

If i misread and it's on outside then trying using a calcium/lime remover maybe? It's just plastic shouldn't hurt.

Do you leave your Z out in the sun alot?

if it's on the outside, just take some sandpaper and wet sand it.

Not sure about rust. The headlights are plastic. For detailing the exterior of the lamp see the detailing forum.
