Showed my headlights a little love

My EVO's headlights had recently started to haze up so I decided to refinish them. I found the Meguiar's Heavy Duty kit at Advanced Autoparts for a decent price, and it looked pretty complete so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'd used the 3m kit in the past, and it worked well but the Meguiar's seemed to be the faster of the two. Took me a little less than an hour start to finish for both. I think they came out great. The pics really don't do them justice. I may get some better shots out of the garage tomorrow.

the UV protection that comes with the kit only last a couple of months at best. Optimum opti-lens is a permanent solution, it is expensive however. Another option is to use a clear coat, but the good stuff like spraymax 2k.
