Headlight Refinishing.
The wifes TL has about 150,000 highway miles and the Headlights were a milky pitted mess. So much that I had noticed, when driving at night I thought we had some bulbs burnt out.
I picked up a 3m Headlight refinish kit from
Just need an electric drill and some painters tape. Follow the directions or watch the video. Took a little over an hour to do both lens but, Now that Im finished they look like you would expect a car 1K miles on them. They are practically 100% new again. Lights even shine a little brighter now that its clean.
So if your HL look dull or are pretty dorked up. I highly recommend the kit.
Sorry for not thinking to take pictures, but Hell picture hazy, dull pitted lens and then factory fresh ones.
Well worth it. Hope this helps out.

This was one of the first things I did to mine although I used 750/1000/3000 grit wet sands and a high speed polish afterward. Either way excellent results are awesome and new looking headlights make the car all the more attractive.
Glad you got yours situated!

Headlight restoration is also one of the first things I've done to my TL.
Actually, I did it the day right after I bought the car.
