My wife's Buick headlights got so bad I could not drive it at night. On brights I could if the traffic was not to bad. The oncoming light are so bright now a days. I got a kit and fallowed the instructions to a Tee. Cleaning, conditioning, 3 grades of wet sanding,buffing cream. Then a rinse and more conditioning another rinse buff dry with a soft white cloth. Then applying a healthy coat of UV crystal clear sealer. It all still has to cure. I also put in the highest halogen lights I could get. Let you know how it works tonight.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Yes they are. This is an '06 and would need adapters at $100 a pop. The brighter Halogen are $25 each ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

| Never had a polish kit (Turtle wax and others) work. I spent hours on wifes 1998 and more hours on 2001. Finally, I bought a set of new head high assembly for my 2001. cost for right and left $60 both. inclubing bulbs, installed in 30 minutes. GREAT |
