Hello, I have a 2003 Nissan 350z Touring, and I'm currently experiencing some issues with the headlights. I'm currently debating whether or not I should send it in to have the headlights polished, purchase some brand of cleaning fluid, or just invest in a new set of headlights. What sage advice can you guys offer me? : )

The first thing I would do is get a headlight refinishing kit. You can get them at Autozone or any auto parts place. They are made by Meguiars, Mothers, 3-M or a host of other people. They will get your headlights looking good in no time. I have found the best results are gotten when you use a 120V drill. Most of the cordless drills just don't have sufficient power. Here is a pic of my headlights and my Z is also 2003.

advice would be determined by your capabilities and budget.
little budget + not capable = have someone polish and spray clearcoat over them for you.
little budget + capable = DIY
large budget + not capable = buy 06+ lights and have someone clearcoat
large budget + capable = buy 06+ lights and clearcoat yourself
i'm going to do option 2 for now and when larger budget is in place, i'll go with option 3
