looking to clear up all this fog on my 2003 ML 350 headlights, is there any kit out there that can do the job?
it has got so bad that my halogens don't do much at night.
is it just better that i buy new headlamps?

3M makes a good kit with the proper products for a full lens correction. All you need is a drill.

^ That's the best bang for your buck... Mother's sells one, but you buy the name.. The kit is eh.

Follow the instructions to a T and be patient, and you'll be impressed.

Wipe new is amazing man
I was skeptical at first because its an as seen on TV product
But after looking at reviews on YouTube I was convinced

I use it for my black molding and its hands down the best product
Blows anything else I've tried away...a quick wipe and it looks great for months

I'd imagine their headlight kit is no different...

It's sanding polishing and waxing. It is no different than a paint correction. It is the only way to permanently correct the lenses. Wipe on products are temporary.

Maybe he is lazy and just wants a quick wipe every few months instead
Nothing is permanent though, it got that way already..it will do it again.
