My attempty at my headlights..

[Tunst]

So i got bored yesterday and decided that the headlights on my car were totally ruining the front end (Aswell as the front bumper and bonnet but they can wait ) So i set out with some 1500 wet and dry and some 2500 wet and dry, also T-cut and some polish oh and some elbow grease! Took mayb an hour and a half each side but was totally worth it imo.. only got one before pic as i never thought about it

After:

I noticed my lights like that today when i was fitting my new bulbs , is the shite on the inside or the outside ?

 

[Jon.G]

Its UV damage IIRC. Its on the outside of the lens.

Good turnout mate. I've also heard toothpaste is just as good.

My Bora was like that. I did pretty well and sorting them and then decided to buy new. My new ones are now clouding..haha
