The headlights in my '04 9-5 were translucent yellow when I bought it. I used a 3M kit to restore them. It's a tedious four step process that takes about two to three hours. You'll need a good drill that plugs in the wall, and a practiced hand at polishing. There are three grades of sandpaper that are used and then a polish. The results were amazing. The lights look like brand new - crystal clear. I also purchased the 3M 40 mil film from State of Nine. The lights have to be devoid of all silicone or wax before applying the film. There's a special 3M cleaner that's specified. Total cost for materials was $80.
