I used this on the headlight of my 5th gen which was quite cloudy but not bad enough to fail and MOT.

I had tried using toothpaste before splashing the cash on this, but this was quick and easy to use. I needed to re-do the UV protector after a few months, but I've been pleased with the results.

that's not that bad at all I do have a set but they are not much better than yours were in fact the top tab on the passenger side one has come off I still have it so it could be repaired but they are yours if you want them?

Thanks @Mattbigwood. What does everyone think? Is it too far gone to use the above?

That just needs sanding, refining and polishing out.

If you fancy doing it yourself, get this kit http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0078IH ... ot_redir=1

worth the expense and elbow grease to try it yourself.
