Looks like a new assembly
Worked for me as advertised
​​​​​​​I thought I would have to buy new headlight assemblies fron Rock Auto to replace the badly faded ones on the 07 I just bought. I thought id try the Rainx 4 part restoration kit when I saw it at target for $14. It worked great so I saved $120 or so!

Have that setup myself from a few years ago, gotten for the Miata. Lots of work, but looked great for a few months (probably 6) before I traded her in on the California Special.

Couple years later, the wife's Sorento was looking rough and she bought some WipeNew at the local dollar store (she believes most commercials!)

But I'll be damned if it didn't work perfectly and was an absolute breeze. Took maybe 5 minutes per side. A year later and they still look pretty good. I might redo them (only $10 or less) and see how repeat treatments work.

If you want to get really cheap, toothpaste works GREAT on headlights.

Only the toothpaste with abrasive in it works, you know the gritty stuff.
It mimics rubbing compound.
A compound that really works the well is Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish, for less than 10 bucks.
Some kits have MEK in them to wipe the plastic clean. It actually melts the plastic as it is a plastic solvent.
After polishing spraying a good gloss clear urethane paint will protect it from the UV and keep it clear for longer
