I'd give it a real good cleaning / polishing, and see if that would take care of it -- look for headlight cleaning kits, it'll take some time, but I bet you can get it back in shape...

I used the 3M kit and they sent that light out for resurface. It's been done twice.

I guess my issue is that they matched before. Now it's like the stuff my dogs leave on my lawn.

Yeah, I wouldn't accept that. They should have replaced both if they couldn't find an old, cloudy one to match

To me this would like getting part of the car repainted and the color did not match the rest of the car.

It would decrease the value of the car and look stupid, they would have to repaint the entire car.

I would not accept that and get them to make it right or sue them for the price of another replacement light in small claims court.

After they get their invitation to court I'd make a deal and take $2, 000 and buy your own light.

Thats rediculous to think that what they have done is ok.
