Hy to all of you. I tried polish my headlights, I used first an 600 sandpaper, then 1200, and then 2500 sandpaper and finally with polish and polish machine, now the headlights are looking great, but one is darker than the other, I tried sandpapering and polishing the darker one but didn t look better, what can I do to have equals headlights. Many thanks
 
What is looking darker, is it when the lights are on, the reflective chrome, or the plastic lens?
 
If it was just oxidation film on the outside of the lens - all that is needed in baking soda and glass cleaner / vinegar. Just mix the baking soda in to a paste and rub on the headlights lens - takes of the films. Just need some elbow grease and once they are looking good, clean them off with the glass cleaner / vinegar.

Worked a treat for me

You sure there is not dirt on the inside of the headlight, take a bulb out and try sticking something through the hole to see if there is dirt on the inside.
