    I think i'm just gonna buy some new ones. I wetsanded the **** out of mine with 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper....that didn't work. I used a trick, a.k.a. toothpaste , heard it worked ........that didn't work. I had a friend tell me to try throwing clear coat on them and for some reason it would clear it up. I haven't done that yet, but I finally came to the conclusion that i'm just gonna have to buy some new ones

    It might be. But I don't really care for them anyways. One of them is cracked really bad, and I want a different set of headlights anyways, so I figured screw it...
