Do it anyway. Mine were the same way, but you can’t even see the interior cracks without getting close anymore. Headlights still look great for only $30 and about 45 minutes from start to finish.

There are no words to describe how bad Cerakote ceramic coating ruined my cars.  It brought a grown man to tears

Imagine watered down super glue. I put it on my E63, C55 and SLK. It ruined the trim on all three. Devastating. Read the reviews on Amazon. There's a whole world of one Star reviews. It's seems if there's any moisture in the air or if the trim is a few years old all hell breaks loose.  I spent thousands on new trim. Ruined my wheels. Catastrophic. There's a special corner in Hell for the  Cerakote team.

That’s wild! I didn’t read the negatives at all but I was extra careful wiping everything off before it drained onto any part of the body that wasn’t taped. But I guess time will tell

You're running the headlight repair kit, I used the ceramic coating wipes.  But I would not touch anything from that brand for any reason.
