headlights oxidizing already?!?!?
alright i know it might not fly with subaru but does anyone think they'll cover my headlights under warranty?? ive had my car for about 5 months and my headlights are starting to oxidize -.- yes my car does sit outside but i really didn't think it'd be such a huge problem in so little time. i'm thinking about calling tomorrow and i'd look in my owners manual but its too dark outside
yeah give them a call. no reason why they should oxidize that fast. my bugeye sits outside and in the sun almost all day. the headlights are still in great condition. no oxidation. well almost none.
It's QQ thankyouverymuch

Did you modify your headlights? If you haven't done anything to the headlights then there is no reason why they shouldn't get you a new set under warranty. But if they decide not to warranty a new set of lights, Meguiar's Headlight Restoration kit isn't bad at all.

I got that stuff for my dad on father's day. Worked really well.

Not bad for $25 from Kragen.

Yikes, hopefully they do cover it under warranty.
If they do, I recommend you also put a protective film (clear bra, headlight armor, etc). After 26k miles on my GR, the headlights had some very tiny rock chips, like someone got bored and poked it with a needle for a few minutes.
I didn't get any oxidation though. Then again, I was washing the car almost every week, and always using Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer or Quik Spray Wax afterwards.......and waxed every 4-6 weeks.
