Default Restored My Headlights! With Pics!

I have the stock headlights on my '99 GT and they have looked like complete, and absolute hell since I drove the car in the winter for the first time since I bought it. Purchased in '04, first winter in '07, started looking like shart in the Spring of '08

I used Fast Brite...it was the one on the infomercial on television, but the kit is the exact same as those found at auto stores (mothers etc...)

Oh, and since I ordered one they gave me two for the same price, then they doubled the offer! So, 4 kits for roughly 22 dollars including shipping!

Now for the pics!

Before:





AND AFTER !!!!!!!!!!!





Looks like AM is going to be getting an order for dark smoked lights from me, as well as someone with a good HID kit.

Looks really good. I used a 3M kit with sandpaper on my last Mercedes and it turned out nice.

I had the same problem, I wet sanded with 1000 grit and spary tinted then got a set of ddm HID, I've got less than $80 total in the lights including all parts and materials and some elbow grease:

Is this one of those satirical threads about another thread?

Actually my headlights looked worst than Machs lights.
