    I used the Sylvania kit. My were just terrible. Came out really good. Easy to use. I put about an hour into it.

    That's pretty seriously well done. Those products really make such a difference.

    It doesn’t last very long, but as long as you put the effort into it and keep doing it, it will keep them clear.

    The claim is this one is lifetime. It had a pretty serious coating that goes on in the last step. We shall see.

    Great job. They look brand new now. A dramatic before and after. You probably tell the difference now when the headlights are on LOL. Those kits really do work.

    That's a huge improvement. I've tried the Sylvania kit on my car and was pleased with the result.

    That looks awesome!

    Not the same kit you used, but for those who can’t find that one… I have nothing but great things to say about this product.

    I'm curious how long this lasts. I did same to mine and lasted less than a year! They were back to yellow foggy looking junk in no time. And yet, they looked brand new when I got done resurfacing.

    I used the Cerakote Kit a year ago and my headlights look as good as the day I restored them. I could not be happier.
