Hello,

I have a 99 A6, and I recently noticed both my tail lights appear to have a pattern of corrosion (see photos). I hadn't noticed this until recently, when I parked the vehicle outside all evening. It is usually garaged.

Can someone shed some light on this? Am I alone? It might be time for the 2001+ tail light upgrade

Thx!

Time for a smoked taillight upgrade? ;-)

Get some plastic polish product and see it fix it.

I have no idea why that would be happening. It looks like the road rash we get on the front of the cars.

... and then drying on the taillights. Should come off with the right chemicals. Don't use anything not designed for cars and plastics (e.g., avoid acetone). Don't use abrasive either or you will scratch the plastic.

Unusual, I would try T Cut then fine metal polish usilng a cotton cloth.
