Good job..I've used it before..I thought it worked ok, but way too much elbow grease for my taste..Next time just use a buffer and some wax and it will take the haze right off the headlight..I used this method after i got tired of sanding with that kit..

This is a slightly off topic question but did you add halos to the headlights? It appears that your lights have halos where as my 01 4.4 does not.

Thanks for the restoration tips too...I have been contemplating getting some Depo headlights but my bank account seems to like this idea better

Looks good!

I used the Crystal View kit ($20 at Advance Auto Parts) and got the same results. This kit also came with a sealer. My pics aren't as good as yours, but you can see the results.

yes, they are aftermarket halos i bought of ebay for 59.99. They have been good for 4 years, but i did change one ballast for 25.00

Great job. I need to do mine on the 02 X5. A good job for this weekend.

I had my body shop do mine, rhey sand them 600.....12000 then clear coat them with a hardener...$80 for he whole thing...look like new..

I need to do this... I should probably do it while the headlights are off the vehicle.

yes. i highly recommend going to xpel.com and getting a set of headlight clear covers to keep your newly polished headlights always looking new and free of dirt. one of the best investments i purchased.
