I saw a honda the other day and the headlights looked like they had oil on them. The were different colors, kinda like that flip-flop pain but it wasn't. It wasn't on the inside either. This was on the lense of the headlight. Does anyone know how to do that or can you purchase them like that?

I know....It's kinda hard to explain. you know when you see a puddle of water and thwer's oil in it. The oil looks different colors depending on the way you look at it. Well, that's what these headlights looked like. It wasn't very obvious but you could tell when you got up close to it.

I think that he means that they had a 'rainbow effect'...

I know exactly what you're talking about. I have a pair of gunmetal headlights that have that problem. Yes, it's a problem. It's not meant to be like that. Basically it's a fault in the plastic and the oils they used in its creation. I've actually seen some Focus' at the dealerships that have the same problem. I think after a few days in the sun though it may go away.
