The headlights on my Grand Cherokee were pretty well fogged up. I already had bought the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a couple years ago so decided to use it. The results aren't perfect, but damn if it's not a pretty significant improvement.
Here's before & after shots of the front of the car:
And the driver's side headlight which needed the most work:

I just got one of those kits for my car, too. I'm mostly concerned about how long it holds up- I know I've read some stuff about different restoration kits that work great for like two weeks, then look worse than before you started.
Keep us updated with some more photos as time passes!

Where I live, in the high desert, I usually have to redo it every 3-4 months. If you stay on it when needed, it is no big deal. Only takes a few minutes. If you let it go, it can take a lot longer.

After I cleaned up the headlights on my Forester and the wife's old Civic, I used Boeing 303 protectorant on them. Treating them after after a few washes keeps from having to polish them often.
Is "protectorant" even a word?

3M's kit works pretty well too coming from a guy who used to do it by hand. Having the sand paper drill bit pad saves hours

So what about the rumored toothpaste trick to clean up headlights? Fact or Fiction?

Not sure if protectorant is a word...I think it's protectant?
I put some spray-on wax on the lenses after polishing them, same basic idea.
