    I got a kit from autobarn for about $40. Did a good job on my S3. Just watch when you do the clear coat that you get it on heavy enough first time, it starts drying as soon as it leaves the applicator. If you try and touch it up, it looks bad and you'll need to do it again.

    Otherwise I have been plenty happy with mine.

              Permatex does a kit from memory, so does turtlewax, both around the $35 mark at supercheap.

                Or ~$275 for a set of replacement headlights.

                Is there any interest in a GB of FK headlights/taillights for Mk4 (Golf and Bora)?
                Nothing to see here...

                  I used some stuff I bought online called glassylite. Worked a treat on my MKV.

                  Note: I am in no way affiliated, just worked well.

                    I've purchased a kit from repco for $40
                    I have done both lights and what a difference. I'm still not happy so I think I'll go over them again see how they turn out. Thanks everyone for info much appreciated. Cheers.

                        Definetly, ive been looking for a set of headlights for a bit, aiming for chrome halo projectors. Preferably with white halo rings (like the newer bmw's)

                          Toothpaste!

                          I didn't really believe it but considering I had a cheap car (until it practically blew up), I thought I'd try all these home methods that I'd never had the balls to do on my Jetta back home.

                          And here's proof. I put a generous amount of toothpaste on each of the headlights on my 1998 Ford Contour and swirled the hell out of it with a Chux cloth.

                            After polishing the head lights they turned out good but I was still not happy. So I did a bit of searching on eBay and found a seller who supply's glass lenses whoo hooo!!!
                            I'm going to purchase these and let all know how it go's. if any one is keen search eBay for bora headlight lens it will come up in the states. Cheers.
