Went another round with the turtlewax kit, and it's starting to help. It still doesn't look as clear as the right headlight though. I'll take a picture tomorrow, just got dark when I was about to fetch my camera

Here's how it turned out after 2 passes with the $7 turtlewax kit.

Undoubtedly better, but still room for improvement.

That is alot nicer, but I think if you go at it with a polishing wax and an orbital buffer it will improve it even more.

Much better - keep going. Elbow grease or a buffer & $7 kit is cheap compared with replacement.

Yeah it's alot cheaper. I think these xenon housings go for $500+, each.
