They sometimes have stalls outside petrol stations and shopping malls
From what i can remember when i last bought it, it was $40 a can or 2 for $65
I ended up replacing my car's headlights with aftermarket units made in Taiwan by TYC.

I sourced them from ebay.co.uk from a bloke called wingmirrorwoman (who is really wingmirrorman):

They cost $550 delivered (well packed) compared to $1,555 quoted by Honda for the two headlights. They are well made but the beam output, though set for RHD, is NOT OEM standard and not exactly ECE shape but I am happy with them.
The seller was good to deal with.
Hey guys, Just recently bought a headlight restoration kit from Autobarn (picture of a red ford on the front), and I gotta say, I've had a pretty incredible result from them. They didn't turn out perfect like I'd hoped but that's because I couldn't apply the last coat of UV protection thingo correctly, but still, crystal clear finish from a pretty badly scratched, oxidised, yellow tinged headlight. Did both my headlights, took less than an hour, ridiculously easy steps. Only cost me $40. Best way to go! If you're having the same trouble of some form of damage to the headlight, fading, scratches, yellow tinge, I highly recommend you get yourself one of these kits!
I was also going to suggest the Autobarn sold product but I did know they were still in business since they went out of business in Darwin.

Cheers bud
I tried just some scratch removal polish that I've used previously on my Toyota Aristo lights and it worked a treat on them. However not so much on the Accord Euro. I kind of think moisture has entered under the lens and has stained the inside - from a quick look it seems I would need to heat these up in the over to pry them open and clean them, which is a bit of a bugger.
If you use scratch removal polish like Novus, note that this will remove some or all of the UV coating on the lenses. Unless you put a fresh UV stable film or coating onto the lens covers, they will yellow/oxidise again within a few weeks. That's why you need the kit.Quote:

I might be doing my Dad's car with the same kit soon as well cos his headlights are pretty bad, although it's not a Honda, I can show you guys the difference

I noticed that Repco have a headlight resto kit with the UV sealant for $40 at the moment (on sale, 35% off apparently): http://catalogues.repco.com.au/offer...urce=catalogue
