MYSTERY HEADLIGHT SCRATCHES. Witches Broom, Bigfoot Fur or Space Alien Dust

My 7 year old 2012 TRD DCSB has scratches across the top edges of both headlights. I started noticing the scratches around 2-3 years ago and they have gotten worse over over time. The truck is garage kept at night and looks almost new except for these scratches . If you notice by the pics they are only on the headlight lenses. None on the paint or hood seal. Anyone have or seen the same problem? Any ideas what might be causing them? Beast? Space Alien? Road debris? Hyper Speed? As Ludicrous speed is only an option on the Pro. A pissed off EX would have at least took a key down the side.

 

Leaning over them to do maintenance?

 

Battery been changed and so have the cursed 2012 Air pump and valves. That and routine oil changes. Nothing else, still running great on the original plugs. That could explain why no scratches on the hood (it was up). But the scratches look too even for a belt or zipper. Plus why no scratches on the nose paint above the grill?

 

have a ever used the brush at a car wash ?

 

Car wash?

 

Only on the tires and maybe the wheels. Never the paint.

 

Scratches preexisting. You are only noticing this because polish layer wearing out.

 

ohh ok good my 13 had those same scratches i dunno where they came from , i never put a brush too it at all , thought it was this wicked lil cardinal goin though puperty i never figured it out either

 

I bought the truck new. Hand wax it twice a year since day one. (Meguire's Ultimate) And I use Mequire's Ultimate spray wax at-least once a month to touch-up in between waxes.
They were not there the 1st few years.

 

Sounds like there's a mystery afoot Watson...

 

used spray wax too

 

im waitin to see if they show up on the 17’

 

If it's speed related you may be good on the 17.

 

Cats.

 

the same thing happen to me to cant figure it out. but to mask the problem add the uv protection polisher on it or reclear it and the problem goes away

 

I’m not saying that is aliens, but it was aliens...

 

Cats? I have not hit one single cat and sent him flying over my headlights ever. I swear I haven't.

 

Birds? maybe but maybe not. Feet marks possibly..... But defiantly no Pecker tracks.

 

If you park outside, I bet its cat(s) climbing up and down on your truck, Ive seen a cat using my front end to get up there too. The headlights make a good clawhold.

 

Truck is never parked outside. Always garaged kept.. so cat, No way!
