It has all the items that FlicrPaul mentioned, plus a "protective clearcoat". I'm going to try it on my compass, after I work through a bunch of other things on my ToDo list.
I've used the kit a couple of times before, but this time it looks like theyve changed up the procedure. They still have the standard sandpaper that you use with the drill, but they no longer include the polish/compound or polishing pad. After using the highest grit, it gives you a coating to cover the headlight while it is still cloudy. After 2 coats the headlight looks crystal clear. The coating claims to last "4x longer!" but doesnt say how long it should actually last for.

>Upgrade to HID or what so I can actually see?
No, HID kits are expensive and they're never upgrades; only downgrades.
>The headlights on this thing are terrible, and now they are getting even worse from yellowing.
Ideally, you'd get new OEM assemblies, but since we're on a budget, I'd polish them and use these bulbs. Total cost < $50, and a true upgrade.
