Did you wetsand and polish them afterwards? If not they will be cloudy and look bad..(I did my headlights myself, as you can see in my sig pic.)

The tail lights don't need the wet sand and buffing if precations against dust are taken. I went with three coats personally. They come out glossy if ya keep your grubby fingers off um.

Protip: Be well read on your local laws about distances and light levels. In Illinois the law states that at night the running lights must be visible (assumably in complete blackness) at 500 ft and the brake lights must be visible at 1000 ft. I've got documentation in the form of flash free photos and videos ready in the car if officers give me trouble about them. (it also helps to not sound like an a hole about it, try and be polite)

Even if you stay away from dust, the way the VHT and clear works a wet sand and polish should be necessary to give it the gloss..
my headlights looked foggy and like garbage before the polish..
