The op said his lights were yellow and foggy so i doubt mequirs would do much as yours were slightly hazy. Plus you have clear lights so its not that bad at all.

Get a pic up mate and we can check the extent of the issue. I am experiencing the same thing

I have the same clear headlights as the OP. Im sure the kit I bought would bring his back with some elbow grease.

Your lights were immaculate to start with tbh .. Obviously you are a perfectionist because even my pint glasses in my cupboard aint that clear as yours were on the before picture lol

My car suffered with the same problem, & I bit the bullet masked around each headlight, then using 600 grt wet &dry and a little sprayed water sanded the headlight plastic followed by 1500 grt and finally t cut using a Halfrauds buffer on a cordless drill. Finally polished with Megs plastic polish.

Perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As it did me mate, I had the advantage of having a family friend who does a similiar job on any scratches on the windows of yachts made by a well known yacht manufacturer in Plymouth. Pri-cess Y-chts
