Default Oem headlights

My headlights have faded quite badly now, I’ve polished them up a couple of times but they soon go cloudy again. Genuine ones are a bit pricey have seen these on eBay

Anyone know if they are any good?

No idea on quality but they are most likely LHD so beam pattern will be wrong

having them properly machine polished will most likely make them better than new..........

Polishing them is only part of the job. If you've not used a decent sealer, they will cloud up quickly.

As Alyn says, a good machine polish, then seal and they'll be good for a year or more.

Otherwise, go the pro route and they'll sort all of that for you.
