Damn, idk dude. Take some closer pics of just the headlight. Did you rush it? You have to go through pretty thoroughly and make sure you get the whole layer of **** off the light with the first run. Then go over it with the lighter grades to blend in everything for a nice glossy finish. Doesn't look like you go the full layer off.

I'm surprised you manage to avoid most of the cars on the road.
