Well, the dang brick trim wouldn't move out of my Reb's way while getting in the garage the other day...got a few deep scratches in my driver's side headlight lens. Are there any products y'all have used to fill 'em in or should I look into getting a replacement?

Personally, I would replace..... (Maybe widen garage entrance???)..... There are some products out there for removing scratches. just not sure how good they work. I use a type of polymer on my MC windshield, but that is a different issue,,,,,

I'd check with a professional detailer and get their opinion. Sometimes they can buff them out.

Thanks, guys...there's a paint and body shop I trust just around the corner, so I may ask them. I noticed my lights have "RAM" embossed on them, so I figure if I replace one with a non-OEM part, it might not have that detailing. Of course, the Ram part will be expensive unless I source it from a pick-and-pull, so I'd like to just fix the scratches, if possible.
