After researching tricks of the trade tried the toothpaste method which initially seemed to work before the plastic covers clouded over again.
Since buying my 03 Punto Sporting a month ago haven't been able to drive it at night.
I've just had a guy called Steve from Auto Brights come out and in an hour had them all sorted. If you're fortunate enough to live in Sussex/ Kent then give him a call- you will find him via Google.
 
there was a very similar thred (with pics) of a punto 2B last week,
that outfit were portsmouth based,
as so many modern cars have plastic covers/ lenses,
there are probably repair companies in MOST areas,


was it @ £30 per lamp..??,

I always find normal car polish sorts mine out, I haven't though had any that where really bad, glad you found someone to do them properly! :)
 
3M makes restoration kits for headlights. They work great!
 
i use g3 compound polish when moping car after painting if head lights a bit dull i run mop over with g3 and badges sometimes
 
Plastic headlight "restoration" depends on the type of corrosion. If it's UV deterioration than you can polish it up but be sure to get some protective film on there as it only temporary and you'll need to do it every few months. If it's lack of cleaning, acid bug spatter and pollution you can clean it and use wet and dry to get a key before evening it out with a head gun. Again use a protective film after.

Bit of old thread but hey ho
Just used auto glym kit on the wifes crv. Absolutely brilliant kit. Headlights look brand new and they where pretty bad before
 
I had really bad headlights on my old Astra, it got a warning on the MOT. I used the Turtle wax kit which I got off eBay for about £10. I would say there was a 35-40% improvement
 
Flat them back with 1500/2000 grit wet and dry ,then coarse compound working up to fine finishing with a Uv resistant seal
