Yeah, I was chuffed with the end result. I didn't have the actual headlight kit.
I taped up the surrounding paintwork to protect it and used the following grit sandpapers 'wet'- 500, 1000, 1500 and finished with 2000. I then used my DA polishers with a small head attachment with a cutting pad and compound.
I used Auto Glym HD wax to finish.
This is probably not the best way to do it but I already had the above items and was willing to have a go. Took me about 2.5 hours or so.
