M235i Headlight Lens Burning?

Recently I bought some gts tail lights and have been running my lights on auto because that’s the only way the animation will work. And ever since then my headlight lens on the passenger side has been burnt (see attached) I don’t know if I’m just tripping or if it even has anything to do with the fact I leave it on auto but, before I installed the tail lights I’ve always manually turned off and on my lights when needed. Do you guys know any way to fix this? Or am I just forced to buy a headlight lens. 2016, M235i xdrive

You’re 100% right. I realized that last night. Some guy put fireworks down at a car meet and I didn’t realize it hit my car lol. It is on the outside. Do you have any tips on fixing it?

Sand/polish the plastic with progressively finer wet/dry sandpaper. Use a wet method, ending with 2000 or finer. It would be similar to correcting foggy lenses - look on YouTube.
