Here are the pics again. Did the images in my first post show up? Sorry, still new here...

I can see that one. There's a dramatic difference.

Looks good. I plan to do this, this week I think

How much sanding/polishing was involved?

[docfuture]

I have one side finished...and am VERY pleased with the results. I wet sanded with 1000 then 1500 then 2000 grit paper...maybe 10 minutes per grain. Then I polished/buffed (with power orbital buffer) about 4 or 5 times. Saw a dramatic difference after the 1st application of the polish. Subsequent applications produced a clearer lens each time, so I found myself doing it over and over...just to see how clear I could get them. After about the 5th application I was satisified with the clarity. I suppose the true "test" will be when they're mounted back on the car! I'll be sure to post more "after" pics when the job is done...
Parrot...DO IT! You will LOVE the results if your lenses were anything like mine .

I would also suggest Mcguire plastic polish and cleaner if your headlight is not too severe. Fantastic result.
Also, there is a kit one of my friend used with great result for the severe yellow lens.

Just order new aftermarket replacements and throw out the old lenses; its only about 150 for both lenses and you will never get the nicks out of them
