Can you link the kit you used?

after the sealant, just regularly apply your favorite wax to them to easily double the life of the kit.

I wish there was a way to replace the whole glass for cheap, but that doesn't seem to exist.

Mine are starting to show signs of fade, but with the car being street parked 100% of the time, I'm afraid a polish will just make things worse long-term. And replacement euro lights (with HIDs, like the 10 series) aren't cheap, like $1200+ for a set.

Polish and then just wax them every time you wash your car.

^yep. of course, i haven't kept a car much longer than 2-3 years after detailing, but do the cleanup once, and then just typical clay bar and wax every few months is usually enough to not need to re-clean them.

Put the body kit back on. Car came with it when I got it but the double stick tape was coming undone in places and needed to be redone. Getting it off was a pain in the ass, but those adhesive erasers for your drill do actually work.
