Apologies in advance as it's not a zed's head lights .
BUT I thought it may be useful any way......
When we got Amy's Clio the head lights looked worse for wear so we recently bought this to try and improve them.

Quite a good little kit from Halfords £28.

This is how they looked beforehand

The kit contains some sanding pads,4 different grades,only to be used on lights as bad as this and a fluffy pad that go's in a drill for use with polishing compound (included)
So I started off with the course grade pad and worked up to the finer grade,followed by the drill powered polishing pad.
This is how they turned out......

Not as new but I think a big improvement on how they were :).
I'll feel happier when she's driving it at night knowing there'll be a bit more illumination for her.
We managed to get some insurance sorted for her at last.....phew ......but it starts Monday so she has to wait a little longer to get her freedom.
