I agree, needs alot more buffing and work on it, should look like this when you're done.

my lens weren't badly deteriorated but showed signs of haze and yellowness. i used this cheap polish resin called TR3. the results were fantastic and the best part was it required very little elbow grease.... almost to the point of wiping it on, then wiping it off. i also used this product on my old beater prelude and it actually restored the shine on the faded white paint. i haven't heard much reviews on this product so no attempts applying it to the lexus paint.

I've also tried said product. It works but could be better. I just ordered a new product from this company and I will let you guys know how it turns out. Lets see if I can restore my head lights with 186K on the clock to brand new.

I used Blue Magic when I pulled my lights apart last month. The stuff actually works really well, but the projectors still need to be cleaned. Mine were really dirty when I took the housing apart, and there was a lot of dust all over the inside of the housings. Used Blue Magic on the lenses, cleaned the rest of the housing and the projectors and they look great, not to mention the far better light output.

I used some Meguiar's PlastX on mine. Pretty much just a wipe on, wipe off type of deal. Took me 15 mins to do both.

I've had wonderful results with ScratchX on my old headlights as well.

That being said, OLT is right. There is no substitute for a set of thoroughly cleaned projectors or a pair of brand new headlights.

I got tired of having to clean my headlights every month or so to prevent them from turning yellow that I simply bought a brand new pair from Carson Toyota. $600 isn't exactly cheap for my more than a decade old SC400 but the clarity on the new headlights simply blew my old units away.

2000 grit wetsand, 3m compound, and a small buffer worked pretty good for me. now i can see the inside and it looks like crap LOL.
