Default So I decided to restore my EK's headlights...

Alright, before anyone gets on me about TLC and whatnot, chill, I was away from my car for about 2 years at college. But yea anyway, they were pretty yellowed so I bought a 3M Headlight Restoration kit to try and do something about it. It was a pretty simple process and I thought the end result came out pretty decent, let me know what you guys think. On with the pics..

For some odd reason, the "EK" headlights often look like this after polishing. I believe they may need to be done from the inside as well.

If you know anyone that works at a paint and body shop check with a detailer see if they can buff the headlamps out my buddie fixed some that where even worse than that now they look new.
