Still haven't got an old set on a 10 year old car to look new again, or at least close. Just buying an new ebay set works a hell of a lot better. But I still think there is probably a "perfect" method, although I think it involves a lot of work. Well, a lot more work than most people want to put into headlights anyway. Especially when you can get a decent new set for most older vehicles for about $130.
Doesn't seem to be any quick way out with the 10+ year old sets. It basically becomes full on bodywork. Gotta sand, sand, sand. Then hope it looks alright and that there weren't any hidden flaws that made the whole process not even worth it.WH

What I've found is that you can indeed make them look a good deal better. But they'll never be new again, or even close. I've only ever been able to get about a 50% improvement at most.
Which does put them back up to par. Where they don't look like shit, and look like what you'd want a 10 year old car's headlights to look like. But if they're too far gone, a new ebay pair is the best bet. Does a world of good for the looks of the front end.WH
