I'm going to get this and try it for my headlights...I've been looking into doing this but didn't know which one to try. Mine are no where near as bad as your fogs were, but I just want them to look brand new again. So thanks for proving that this kit really works good!

Only one suggestion to those of you going to try this kit out. The kit doesn't make note of "wet" sanding until you get to the last stage of sanding. In my case, the lenses were really bad and I clogged up almost all the included sandpaper on the first lens.
So my recomendation is to wet sand right from the first stage. The paper can handle it and it works much better and faster.
Also, it's MUCH easier to take the lights out of the car than to try and do it on the car... the corners are impossible to get at with the 3" sanding discs in the kit.
Anyway... good luck and believe me, you won't regret it! I don't.
Cheers....

I bought that kit from AutoZone for 22.99. My headlights have some rough spot on them, i will take some pics and figure out how to post them. If this kit can get these scratches out, its worth twice the money!
