Quixx Headlight Restoration Kit FTW!!
My headlights had gotten so terribly yellow and cloudy over the last couple years that I nearly pulled the trigger on a new OEM set for $1100 shipped. I had tried the 3M kit as well as the Meguirs Plastix. I came across this stuff in Walmart and decided I'd give it one more try. I didn't take any before photos because I really didn't expect any drastic. I really regret that decision now. All I can say is WOW!!
Let's face it, nothing will get them looking "fresh out of the box" new but these are damn close. I am very pleased and highly recommend this product. Took me about half an hour per light. It is recommended to reseal them(sealent included) every three months to prevent yellowing but I'm considering getting them clear coated.

Worse! The yellow haze on mine could be seen from quite a distance. I went to town with the 2000 grit twice with very firm pressure. It was hard work but well worth it.

Not entirely sure thats necessary; at least not from my experience. I did forget to mention that I did purchase some larger 2000 grit 3M sandpaper in addition to the Quixx kit. The set included will do the trick but I wanted to have enough to go over the lense multiple times. That first sanding is the key to great results.
As far as how long it lasts, they recommend resealing every three months to prevent the return of hazing. We need Nissan to start selling the lenses as seperate pieces as opposed to selling the entire assembly.
