I'm in the car business and actually have two local "headlight" guys that come around who do fantastic work. I just didn't want to go down that route since my headlights and grille are otherwise "like new." I had the headlights refinished professionally by one of the local guys on an A6 that I used to own, and they stayed like new for the remainder of the time I had the car.



Another consideration is that if I recall, new headlights aren't THAT expensive from Subaru. This set is not anywhere close to being unusable, however I figure I may buy a set to keep around for when these no longer become tolerable. Another option would be to have a set of used headlights refinished that are already in otherwise poor condition. I'm just brainstorming, I guess.
