Get a couple 3m variety packs like I did starting with about 400 grit and wet sand clear down to 2000 grit. Then get U-Pol Clear and do a few coats of that. You can then leave it like that or wet sand with 2000 or 2500 grit then use a polishing compound and then pow you are done. They will look brand new unless the damage is on the inside.

Yah 3m sells a KIT to restore headlights... it does work well... but does require some elbow grease...

There are cheaper headlight restore kits.... but remember like anything u get what u pay for...

I have had no luck trying to restore my lights. They have the same little cracks. You can polish it but the cracks don't come out.

Usually the the tiny cracks are on the inside of the lens. Don't think they can be fixed. Can always separate the light and replace the lenses with ones from a marquis.
