458 cracked headlight lens

Do you have a photo of the crack? You'd be surprised how well Super Glue works sometimes, although you have to be careful. They also make products to repair cracks in glass, which might be something to consider. I'm actually about to use one I just purchased to repair a crack in the windshield of my truck.

There are many good quality two part products on the market for repairing stuff. You just have to do your research.

As far as removing the lens, I seem to remember on the 360 forum people had come up with a way to open the headlights to clean them. Have you searched over there to see if you can find anything?

A fine crack should be able to be repaired.....there is likely a specific product out there....I would check with a local body shop or a windshield repair shop....

 

Maybe ask your local certified service center. They may know a specialist with experience handling this. Obviously one wouldn’t want to make matters worse with messy glue spots which will be permenant. In the meantime how about some clear tape to keep the inside of the lamp dry.

 

Be careful of super glue. It almost always clouds the area repaired when used on clear plastics. Not at first, but days later. I've found this to be true on Lexan.
