    Pink wax and some mothers carwash soap! Gotta love the pink wax. you can use it on ANYTHING! windows, chrome, paint, even the black parts that you try to avoid with wax.

    No sorry. If it were me I'd probably look for used ones or price some new ones (aftermarket or OEM-if available).

    Make sure those restoration kits include abraisives. If they do, then your results will be permanent. You could also wetsand and polish your headlights they will come out like new.

    The 3M kit I used was awesome.

    And then I just make sure I apply 303 protectant every week to the headlights regardless if I washed the truck.

    Looking good. I just washed mine today.
    It's amazing how quickly the bug splatters add up.
