So I was planning on on getting the 3m headlight kit.
Do u guys think this is fixable.

yup that doesn't look bad at all. easy enough to do with the kit

Agreed. Those lights look bad but with elbow grease you could clean them right up. Get some 800, 1500, 2000, 3000 sand paper and polish them. It's a lot easier with the lights removed so you can get in the corners

take your time and make sure to focus on the 1500, 2000 and 3000 sand paper. What most people forget is to make sure there is some type of UV sealant on the lens. Be it clear coat, opti lens, or some other material like 3m clear bra. if you don't, they will return just the way they were within 1 year.

Does a compound or wax give the same protection ?
I can't find anything that says uv protection

Also I sanded down my headlights yesterday with 3m Headlight Restore kit but it looks like the corners are still bad.
Can I go back and resend it?
