Yeah, I picked up the one with the buffing pad that attaches to a drill because my Prelude had foggy headlights. It worked decently, but nowhere NEAR what it displayed on the package. I wouldn't expect miracles, but it definitely helps.

A better alternative is wet sanding and buffing if you know how. My friend did it on his and they look great.

Brand new headlights are around $300 each. www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. Or look for a used set on here or on S2KI.COM

I have used this and it works great, just use a foam applicator pad and pour this **** on it and scrub hard until it comes off then buff it with a microfiber. They will haze up again, but this works for the mean time..

Buffing them will only clear them up for a few weeks, u need to pull them wetsand them with 1000 grit and clear them to have them stay nice I did mine when I color changed my s2k they been crystal clear for almost 2 years now

Btw when I say clear them I mean a decent quality automotive clearcoat that a body shop can spray it shouldn't be very much money to have them done if you don't know how to paint
