You can refurbish the headlight lenses easily enough with very fine wet and dry and G3 rubbing compound.

Requires about 15 minutes elbow grease each side :y

Obviously mask the surrounding body work when  you use the wet and dry  ;)

Yep, done this a couple of times on my dads FL Desmond.  Can also pop the light off as well - Relatively easy if i recall.

Or if you are work shy, use the £18 3M headlight restorer kit that fits in a drill.  I spend about 20mins a side, and it does a better job that spending the same amount of time doing it by hand.

I did my Omega's ones again for the MOT, its surprising how you don't notice that they have gone a bit cloudy until you refurb one of them ;D
