I think they aren't that bad. Sorry I couldn't respond fast to be the first to say it. Clean and use that plastix that was recommended earlier.

If you want a fresh start I whole heartedly agree with the others. I did this when my 300 got bad but currently I just clean the headlamps on my 350 every time. They look great.

Default thanks

ok, thanks guys. I was thinking i would buy a kit, but was afraid it wouldnt work. Ill try wetsanding and sealing, although ive never done it before. I hope I dont mess my headlights up

Ive never wetsanded before, should this technique be done by a rookie? Also, the headlights arent that bad, just those spots, i feel like that yellow color in the pic was basically the flash on my phone. They are pretty dang clear minus those spots. I feel i need to wetsand them to get them out, they are more of microscopic indention's instead of just dirty. Any final thoughts before I tear into it with 1000 grit? Thanks again.

Thanks! I drove a beat up old 98 mustang from when i was 16 to 7 years from then, just got the IS. I was thinking about modding it, but I might just keep it clean, since it looks so nice on its own. I did tint it and am planning on putting HID's in it. maybe a roof and trunk spoiler, but probably nothing else. I was thinking of paining the rims a light grey, but im having second thoughts.
