looks great! i'd recommend a xpel pre-cut clear protection film for those headlights. keep that hard work protected (its what I did to mine and i've had no degradation since)

Nice! My pass side looks brand new, driver side,,, pretty ugly, Im thinking one was replaced. Driver side is taking on a lil internal moisture, not terrible, but not great either. Tried to restore with my turtle wax kit, but I think the pads are worn down pretty bad. Anyway, nice job!

I'll go ahead and pile on this thread... I did mine 08 Type S headlights today using the Meguiar's Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit. The lights were really hazy, and it bugged me every time I looked at them. They look WAY better now... hopefully it lasts.
Overall, it was easy to do... the kit came with the sandpaper (1000 and 3000 grit), plus the polish and polishing pad, and a UV coating/sponge applicator. I cleaned the headlights, taped around them, then simply sanded down the headlights, polished with a drill, then coated them. It took about an hour... and the kit has WAY more than enough to do both TL headlights, so I did my 2000 Grand Caravan headlights too. They were horribly hazed, and turned out great as well (and I probably still have enough to do a few more headlights).
