Thanks for the thread, I have already tried the polish, but mine are so far gone it didn't work. I put some silicone spray on & that cleared them for about a day.Maybe I'll try to spray them with a clear hi gloss plastic paint .I don't know, but I don't have anything to loose Thanks again

goto the exterior detail section of jaguarforums there are quite afew threads about headlamp detailing. I personally would not clear paint them until they are buffed out. I have used the 3m headlamp cleaning kit and it has made our headlamps clear as new. The product is available at any big box autoparts store.

I use some stuff called 3M Perfect-It II. It is a liquid rubbing compound. But it works wonders on headlights and whatnot. I will admit that it takes a little bit of elbow grease to clear up some of the more badly scratched headlights, but it does work. I use it periodically on my Jag. The other nice thing about this product is that it is also good for chrome, glass, and even paint. It is a all-for-one product. I use a cotton cloth to apply and remove the product. The only problem with the product is that it is a little bit difficult to find. BUt, if you go to a store that sells automotive paint by the quart/gallon (ie, not your local auto parts store), they normally carry it. I think they have upgraded the formula and they are now calling it Perfect-It III. I swear by the stuff.

Thanks for the threads ytube is great! when I tried to polish mine with the, I think it was Mequiars head lite polish it only had a polishing cleaner & polish "no sanding"& I had no luck @ all I cleaned & polished for about an hour with the little drill tip that came in there kit. but after seeing the detailing & sanding on youtube I think when it warms up again I'll try the sanding method then polish. Thanks again for all the leads
