After Drivers side....

After Passenger side...

( those that are a bit scared of doing this to your headlights i was the same but just do it you wont regret it!! )
p.s i used 1500 & 2000 sandpaper and G3 rubbing compound then polished with Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish then a few coats of Meguiars Carnauba Wax (supposed to be the hardest wax known to man)
